programming. The vehiclefor the latter was Fortran programming on mainframe computers using punched cards. Thecomputing component of these courses grew through the 70’s with more attention paid tonumerical methods. The minicomputer was a common vehicle, and video terminals graduallyreplaced the use of punched cards. In the 1980’s technology shifted to personal computers withmagnetic storage media. Although there were “experiments” or “movements” with differentprogramming languages during the 70’s and 80’s, such as Pascal, Fortran, in its evolvingversions, remained the primary software vehicle.From the mid-80’s forward through the 90’s, a split occurred in the direction taken towardintroductory computing for engineers. In part, this was catalyzed by

understanding and creating new technology, for which designrules had yet to be written. However, the emphasis on basic science produced engineers who lacked practicalexperience and judgment, though well-trained in science and mathematics. The call for better experiences inapplying science to practical problems brought a response in the 1980's by engineering curricula thatsupplemented science requirements with "engineering design" mandates. Most recently, engineering educatorsrecognize that these mandates alone are inadequate, because a key ingredient is missing: students are oftenpoorly trained in the processes of putting science into practice. The most glaring shortcoming is the inability ofstudents to think through problems and various solution

Since theorigin of the course nearly thirty years ago, the emergence of a plethora of applicationprograms, e.g., P-Spice, MATLAB / SimuLink, Excel, ETAP, SKM Analysis PowerTools and others, has reduced the need for Electrical Engineering Technology Students todesign and implement such application specific computer codes.

The emphasis on fundamentals is intended to prepare students for dealing with the rapid pace of technology and the interdisciplinary nature of engineering practice. The laboratory and design portions of the program provide the students with a balanced perspective on the theory and practice of the engineering profession.9One impact of this mission is the delineation of courses into fundamentals and elective courses.The fundamentals and design courses are required of all students, and lay the foundation
