The lack of consistency and uniformity throughout California concerning program and course objectives, titles and content, prompted the study reported in this article. Community colleges statewide were included in the study. Curricular characteristics of engineering technology and industrial technology programs were recommended and definitions…

Taiwan's senior high school technology education (TE) is moving from industrial arts (IA) to living technology (LT). However, senior high school LT faces two major challenges. First, LT, a required course, may be changed to an elective. Second, there is only a vague distinction between junior high school LT and senior high school LT. In terms of…

In the past, the associate degree was awarded upon completion of two-year engineering technology programs. Industrial needs have influenced the curricula for these programs, which now involve four years leading to baccalaureate degrees that bolster status and career opportunities for engineering technicians.

A practicum was conducted to develop a scientific management tool that would assist students in obtaining a systems view of their college curriculum and to coordinate planning with curriculum requirements. A modification of the critical path method was employed and the result was a time-based network model of the Industrial Engineering Technology…

This developmental applied research project aims to provide an effective means of orienting non-traditional students, especially minorities and females, to engineering technology, and particularly to basic materials science. The instructional system adopted involves self-paced, individualized instruction, breaking the technical education component…

This annotated listing of curriculum materials for Technical Education provides planners, administrators, vocational educators, and others with information as to available curriculum materials developed by the various States. The materials are identified with the instructional titles and codes from the classification system of the Office of…

The impact of technology on higher education from increasingly complex computers and technological systems will cause higher education to include technological courses in the liberal arts curriculum, prepare liberal arts students for careers in nontraditional areas in which technology is an important component, and broaden the base of engineering…

Six state 2-year technical colleges in Georgia were seeking Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET) approval for a pilot seven-quarter electronic engineering technology program that culminates in an associate of sciences degree. A curriculum revision project that involved a modification of the Delphi technique and input from advisory…

This discussion of computers and their place in the field of engineering technology begins with an outline of the historical development and significance of computers, tracing advancements from the first generation of computers, which began to be produced in 1946, to current third-generation models; reviewing the current state of the art in…

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…

Describes a graduate program for teacher preparation with emphases placed on advanced study of a teaching specialty and study of the institutions and processes of technical education. Indicates satisfactory results after students' graduation. (CC)

Presented is a philosophy for the education of professional engineers in Belgium. Modern techniques that may be used in classical studies are analyzed. Described is a curriculum that is specific for the Belgium situation in an unified Europe. (KR)

The ELEXTEC project was initiated to provide better technical education to students enrolled in electronics technology. It was designed to convert a set of materials developed by the U.S. Air Force for teaching electronic principles in a form which could be utilized by civilian technical education institutions. Fourteen colleges participated in…
