Presents and discusses data on engineering technology enrollments for all students (by curriculum and level), for women and minority groups, and for all programs (broken down by state and type of degree). Data comparing 1982 to previous years are also included. (BC)

Presents data from the Engineering Manpower Commission's 1983 survey of engineering technology degrees. Results indicate a 12 percent increase in associate degrees and a 9.9 percent increase in bachelor's degrees. Summaries of engineering technology degrees awarded by curriculum and degrees by school and degree level are included. (BC)

Describes an Occupational Technology Curriculum, designed to meet the widely divergent needs of individuals already employed in industry or business who desire to upgrade a present skill or acquire a new one. The curriculum is structured so that half of the credits required for the associate degree are free electives and half are required core…

Describes a curriculum project aimed at developing a two-year, non-traditional engineering technology program employing the latest instructional materials. Provides a list of descriptive course titles for the program. (MLH)

A survey of graduates of associate degree programs in technological areas showed that these graduates are often dissatisfied with their jobs, tend to participate in continuing education programs, and are largely employed in major business enterprises or public service concerns. (MLH)

Inventories the past and current national effort in programs of two to four years duration in engineering technology education, assesses the strengths and weaknesses of current educational practice in this domain, and suggests directions for future effort. Statistical data, a bibliography and an index are appended. (Author/TS)

A survey of the graduates from bachelor of technology programs at one institution indicates that they were adequately trained for their technical positions in industry. Their job assignments were very similar to those of B.S. graduates in engineering, and very different from those of the associate degree graduates. (MLH)

Describes a baccalaureate program in engineering technology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is a "plus two" or upper-division-only curriculum, serving as a receiving unit for the graduates of two-year engineering technology programs. (MLH)

Describes the technical programs of the Community College of the Air Force, and provides a sample technology curriculum. (MLH)

Reports that fewer than half of over one hundred engineering technology curricula surveyed included chemistry as a requirement. Qualitatively describes the content of courses surveyed. Argues for the inclusion of chemistry in all curricula. (GH)

Presents statistical data for engineering technology degrees, engineering undergraduates, and graduate degrees in 1989. Discusses trends for women, minorities, and foreign students. Includes data for many individual schools. (YP)

Describes a survey of 34 accredited engineering schools located in the northeastern United States. The survey indicated that students transferring with two-year technology degrees into four-year baccalaureate programs in engineering can expect to lose from one to one and a half years of credit from their prior education. (MLH)

Describes the engineering technology programs of the North Carolina Community College System. The 16 curricula classified as engineering technologies are offered in 34 institutions for a total of more than 100 separate programs. (MLH)

Describes a three-quarter program offering English, mathematics, and physical sciences, which is designed as remedial instruction for academically high-risk students who plan to enter two-year technical programs. (MLH)
