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)

Discusses why educators should not rush headlong into creating robotics curricula and suggests methods of establishing meaningful courses. Indicates that the solution to the problem of building a robotic curriculum is to incorporate the three major areas of robotics (design, operations, maintenance) into existing curricula where they best fit.

Describes the work of a curriculum committee established to create a "transfer curriculum" for engineering technology students transferring from two-year to four-year programs. The resulting program (which allows flexibility while providing some guidance for engineering technology programs), transfer problems, issues, and public response…

Presented are some characteristics of curricula in engineering which existed in various educational institutions in the United States and which lead to the award of associate degrees. A tentative classification system by which content areas can be identified is offered, along with an analysis of curricula as they existed in different institutional…

Reviews purpose, characteristics, and project results of the Science and Engineering Technology (SET) curriculum project, characterized by an interdisciplinary course of study with a skill focus in electronic instrumentation, leading to an associate degree or to transfer into a baccaulaureate curriculum in science, engineering, or technology. (CS)

Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) and the Extended Learning Institute (ELI) undertook a project to develop the mathematics, science, and engineering courses required to complete an entire Associate of Science degree in Engineering through home study distance education. The project's ultimate goal was to create asynchronous learning…
