Industrial Technology (BSIT) and BS in Aviation. BSIT has twoconcentrations: Electronics and Computer Technology (ECT) and Manufacturing Systems. Thestudents are not distributed equally between the two concentrations; 25% of BSIT majors areManufacturing Systems students and 75% are Electronics and Computer Technology (BSIT-ECT) majors. This inequity is not surprising considering the location of the university in SiliconValley, CA. The university, as a whole, has large enrollments in electronics and computer-related fields including computer engineering, computer science, MIS, and the BSIT-ECT.There are several other demographic factors that serve to make the delivery of instructionchallenging for the department.

science and engineering technology. Undergraduate students in engineeringtypically receive good training in how to solve well defined problems. However, they usuallyreceive very little training in the creative activity that is involved in the development of newtechnology; often, students read only their textbooks in engineering courses.One way to get students to think creatively about developing new technology is to incorporate arequirement for a research proposal into the course. However, a survey of the literature ineducation has revealed that little has been reported about using research proposals in coursestaken by undergraduates. In fact, only two such instances have been found. In an undergraduatecourse for chemistry majors entitled

Based on one year of data, it appears that students would like moreexamples using the discipline specific software (PSpice, ANSYS). However, results indicate thatstudents did not see the need to learn software from disciplines other than their own. Whenintroducing software, we plan to provide more emphasis to how the software would be useful forall engineering disciplines.
