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)

Illustrates how engineering technology has changed to meet society's needs for skilled technicians. Depicts undergraduate and graduate preparation for the field and the resulting confusion between engineering and engineering technology. (SK)

Describes the evaluation of engineering technology programs and the problems faced by the engineering technology graduate. Asserts that the "identity crisis" developing in the engineering community between the engineer and the engineering technologist could be averted if positive steps are taken to spell out the differences between the two. (MLH)

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)

This article seeks to guide the precollege student in considering whether s/he wishes to pursue a career in engineering technology. The nature of the occupation is discussed along with educational preparation necessary. (RE)

This publication, a pamphlet included in the B'nai B'rith Occupational Brief Series, directs its attention to the profession of engineering. It is described as that profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically the…

The 1979 agreement in the engineering industry was a watershed in British industrial relations. It seems very likely that the significance of the 39-hour week is that it is the beginning of a series of reductions in the basic working week. The authors argue that 39 hours is an awkward figure in daily or weekly schedules. (SSH)

This module presents a real-world context in which mathematics skills are used as part of a daily routine. The context is the industrial and engineering technology area, and the module aims to help students see the significance of mathematics skills in performing daily tasks. Materials in the module, most of which are designed for the teacher to…

The manual is written primarily to aid in the training of personnel to meet the professional qualifications of the engineering aid, first class and chief.
