Presents findings of the Engineering Manpower Commission's 1983 survey of engineering technology enrollments. Includes data on enrollments for all students by curriculum and academic year; women and minorities; all associate degree programs by institutions; all bachelor degree programs; and for Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology…

Discussed are problems facing mining and mineral engineering education and the prospects for future resolution of the problems. (SL)

Reviews both baccalaureate and associate degree programs in engineering technology. These programs have increased and expanded primarily as a response to society's demand for technical manpower. (MLH)

Describes how manpower needs due to recent technological developments have stimulated engineering technology programs. Also describes how various technical and professional societies of the engineering profession have expanded their structure to include engineering technology. (MLH)

States that the downward movement in undergraduate engineering enrollments can be attributed to demographic factors. Provides data on enrollment in specific schools and states, including details for women, minorities, and foreign nationals (in engineering only). Cites information for each program title within the general disciplinary groups. (RT)

Presented is a discussion of engineering technology, what it is, and how it differs from engineering. (BB)

States that an expanding future in space requires new technology. Stresses that from engineering education, space requires people with a fundamental knowledge of modern science instruments, all engineering sciences, an appreciation and capability for detail and systems design, and an understanding of costs and competitiveness, machines, materials,…

Discusses the need to include social and ethical issues in engineering curricula, such as information about the potential benefits or detrimental consequences of proposed new technologies. (MLH)

Policies, methods of evaluation, criteria, and procedures for applying criteria are described in this report by the Engineering Education and Accreditation Committee. (PR)

Congressman Brademas describes four problem areas associated with technology and suggests various possibilities for new dimensions in engineering education to meet these challenges. (PR)

Discusses uses of Apple microcomputers in the engineering technology department at Western Kentucky University. These include providing homework assignments, computerized laboratory reporting and testing, and development of computer programs on course content. Seven programs related to DC circuit analysis are discussed and titles of other programs…

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is the "official" professional accrediting body for engineering, engineering technology, and related programs. An interview with the ABET executive director (David Reyes-Guerra) provides information on ABET, the accreditation process, and source for ABET publication list,…

Questionnaires were sent to 152 engineering technology institutions with English composition directors to determine types of writing programs offered to undergraduates, role of technical writing in such programs, and how they differ from writing programs in liberal arts institutions. Findings from the 90 responding institutions are presented. (JN)

Discusses various activities at Nashville State Technical Institute to encourage women to enter engineering technology. These include receptions, in-service discussions, rap sessions, employment of women faculty, female recruitment, and publication of a special issue of the Institute's monthly publication ("Print-Out") for women. (JN)

Discusses rationale for and emphasis of Brigham Young University's four-year program leading to bachelor's of electronics engineering technology (BSET). Also discusses job market response to the program and salaries of program graduates. A preliminary survey of May 1982 graduates showed that each BSET graduate received from one to six job offers.…
