effort in order to receive higher than MRgrade. The College looked into the reasons for this and investigated ways in which the gradingsystem could be changed to encourage students to put more effort in developing their ITAreports so that higher grade could be achieved. It has recently been decided to convert the abovegrading scale points to integer values; where HR = 3, R = 2, MR = 1, and NR = 0. After an ITAhas been graded by faculty, a sum of integer values for each grading scale point will becomputed. If the ITA has no NR grades, letter grades of A, B. C, and F will be assigned for 31-39, 22-30, 13-21, and less than 13, respectively. The letter grades will carry the customary gradepoints and will be counted in computing the student grade

Naming such programs as engineering technology programs (a) creates ambiguity inthe distinction between programs that prepare graduates to function in applied engineeringpositions and programs that prepare graduates for advanced technician positions, and (b) resultsin the perception that engineering technology programs with an applied engineering orientationdo not meet the expected rigor of applied engineering programs7.The benefits to engineering programs, and to the engineering profession as a whole, ofreintegrating engineering technology programs under the

Technology education should abandon the thought of infusing any form of engineering concepts into the curriculum.Clearly there are varying perspectives regarding infusing engineering concepts or not intotechnology education. The authors of this manuscript subscribe to the second camp of thought(i.e., to infuse engineering-related concepts into an existing technology education curriculum andcourses). Therefore, the purposes of this manuscript are to: (a) present initial findings regardingwhat engineering concepts should be incorporated into technology education; (b) explain howinfusing engineering concepts into technology has occurred through the initial professionaldevelopment work of a
