ten-year follow-up study of EET graduates was completed. This study concerned itself with current and past job functions, salary analysis, job progression,prior (to graduating) work experience and course analysis. This paper will concentrate on thecourse analysis. SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS A survey was sent out to over 450 graduates of the electrical engineering technology programat NJIT, representing graduates from this program over a ten year period. The 60 graduatesresponding represented a 13% response rate. While names and other demographic informationwere optional, over 80% of the respondents included that information. This will help withfurther follow-up studies. Over 85% of the respondents worked two
% of this staggering total. In terms of the football field example, the annual energyused for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances is equivalent to a coal pile over 100 mileshigh. Although the availability of coal and other fossil fuels is gradually decreasing, U.S. energyconsumption is steadily increasing.2 It is not surprising that new technologies for efficientlymanaging energy use, particularly energy used for indoor climate control, are becomingextremely important.The growing importance of energy conservation is reflected by several new career opportunitiesfor Technologists and Engineers.

engineer with the ability to design a particular system can take responsibility for the system, identifying all the necessary aspects of the design, and match objectives with appropriate technological solutions. As an engineer develops, the engineer’s abilities also develop so that more challenging and difficult problems can be solved.The reasoning behind the levels of competency is that attainment of the BOK is expected tooccur through formal education and practical experience during the pre-licensure and post-licensure periods. Figure 1 shows where each level of BOK competency is expected to beattained. For the portion of the BOK that is expected to be achieved through formal education,the job of the Curriculum

that BME programs are widespreadand that students will seek out other universities if a quality program is not available on-campus.It is of particular importance to present the potential enrollment growth and the enhancement ofinstitutional prestige associated with anticipated increased research funding. Another approachthat may enhance the interest of upper-level administrators is a business plan element identifyingthe efficiency of having BME serve as a focal point for selected campus-wide programs inbiomedical-science and technology. Examples may include the formation of interest groups forthe pursuit of research on biomedical imaging, cellular and tissue engineering or computationalbiomechanics as has been initiated at the University of
