These are some examplesof how engineering technology departments have tried to eradicate these problems.Enhancing facilities, for example, has been resolved by continuing to improve classroomand laboratory equipment that is even more conducive to learning. Improving the facultyand staff offices to better serve the needs of students is also a common technique. Somehave tried upgrading and enhancing teaching support equipment and resources.Maintaining strong industry relations has been accomplished by meeting biannually withthe Industrial Advisory Committee.
