There are many theories associated with thisscience as it defines adult learning. Self Directed Learning (SDL) seems to be the leader in thisarea, so this will be defined and explained in detail along with other learning environments.Finally, the paper will describe how the industry in areas related to engineering technology couldapply these concepts and their needs for adult learning.DefinitionsAndragogy is a term used in the academic area to describe the process of life-long learning inadults. The word was first introduced in Germany in 1833 as Andragogik by Alexander Kapp todescribe the education theory of

11 The Rebuilding and Revitalization of The Electrical Power Lab At The University of Memphis Robert J. Scoff, P.E. The University f MemphisAbstract: This is a paper which has two purposes. The first is to highlight the effort, and the results that came about when a commitment was made by The Engineering Technology Department at The University of Memphis to rebuild and revitalize The Electrical Power lab. This required a certain financial commitment from the university. That amounted to approximately $21,000. The value of this investment can be viewed, in perspective, from the fact that The US Naval Academy recently
