projections from the U.S. Bureau of LaborStatistics “call for the number of engineering jobs to continue rapid growth, far outpacing jobgrowth for the labor force overall.”2Of further interest in this discussion is the trend in engineering technology (ET) education andspecifically for the associate degree programs. From the numbers provided in the Engineering &Technology Enrollments, Fall 1999 report3, enrollments for engineering technology programs arerelatively stable though still 4-5% less than they were in 1990. These programs are either losingan increasing number of students between the first and second year or the two-year degree istaking longer than two years for a growing population of students (see figure 1

LowellExtended Abstract April 27-28, 2012Students additionally demonstrated a strong excitement regarding future studies of engineering, and future careers inengineering. Importantly, students strongly agreed that “Technology plays an important role in solving society’sproblems,” and that “Engineers have contributed greatly to fixing problems of the world.” Students displayedoverall excitement for the future. Further, students’ comments revealed the positive impact of the course. Onefreshman student stated, “It was awesome to see that there’s this whole world out there just meant to empowerpeople to build stuff. I really like that we had ideas and made them right away

Engineering Education”Systems Approach to Educational TransformationSo, how do we make all of this transformation happen? One effective method of doingthis is to employ a comprehensive systems approach and the following five steps:systems thinking, systems design, quality approach, management of change andemploying appropriate instructional technology 6. Systems thinking allows educators toavoid being continuously distracted by passing fads. It allows for major overhaulingchanges to take place, which will have a powerful overall effect on our curriculumefforts. Once an engineering program has embraced this way of thinking, appropriatedesign would be the next step. Systems design enables engineering educators to makenecessary changes and improvement a

Here, though, the Collegeof Engineering has chosen the General Engineering Criteria and not named degree programs asan incipient manner to nurture the program. However, there remains the possibility of suchdesignated degree program names at some point. This distinction, although subtle, seems toresonate well with the concept of interdisciplinary study and engenders the necessarycooperation from the established and accredited Engineering

To keep pace with thisexpanding field graduate communications engineering students at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) advance through an integrated curriculum that weaves a web of connections between traditional analog/digitalcommunication theory, discrete signal processing, communications/computer networks, spread spectrumtechniques, and coherent applications sequences of courses in military communications, radar, stealth, andantenna engineering.

Learn vocabulary commonly used in engineering and technology context, 2. Develop the ability to comprehend and use Spanish in settings invariably encountered in our technological society 3. Interact in a more formal setting such as the presentation of a technological/culture project to class and guests, and 4. Explain in the target language the workings of a technological device.
