Session ETD 355 Engineer or Technologist? Which Fits Best? Raymond Floyd IEEE Life Senior MemberAbstractThere is an ongoing discussion of the benefits of an Engineering degree versus an EngineeringTechnology degree. Perhaps the first question that the student must answer is what are theirexpectations and desires for a career as an engineer? If their interests lean toward mathematicsand research, then the path could lead to a career as an engineer. If their interests lead towardhands-on and product development, then the path could lead to a technologist. Some
settingup linkages with industry which often leads to employment opportunities for graduates, co-opactivities, and potential development of collaborative research programs. Unfortunately, adjunctsare marginalized by the academic systems in place today; and their contributions to the academicprocess are undervalued. Next, the paper reports on the success story of an adjunct, a practitionerwith good credentials, who “teamed-up” with a “full-time” faculty, in an attempt to bring thepractice to 4thyear students in a geotechnical/ foundation engineering class. The success achievedin meeting course objectives, was attributed, in large measure, to proper planning andcoordination that preceded course delivery. Plus, the willingness, experience and
