Direct linkKopelevich, Dmitry I.; Ziegler, Kirk J.; Lindner, Angela S.; Bonzongo, Jean-Claude J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2012
Because rapid growth of nanotechnology is expected to lead to intentional and non-intentional releases, future engineers will need to minimize negative environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials. We developed two upper-level undergraduate courses centered on life-cycle assessment of nanomaterials. The first part of the course sequence…

Peer reviewedFriedman, Edward A. – Liberal Education, 1979
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…

Cheshier, Stephen R. – Engineering Education, 1985
Compares and contrasts engineering (theoretical/abstract) and engineering technology (practical/application-oriented) baccalaureate programs. Although the perpetuated independent development of the programs has created a negative impact on the profession, changes in accreditation criteria/categories might help engineering technology programs…

Kenyon, Richard A. – Engineering Education, 1985
Discusses differences and similarities of engineering (theoretical/abstract) and engineering technology (practical/application-oriented) programs which the author believes are artificially divided. The fields overlap and should be reunited, but this will need more effective interaction among all engineering professionals and revision of…

In 1986, Portland Community College (PCC) received federal funding to expand its pilot 2 + 2 Tech Prep program in engineering technology to include five local high schools and to link the program to the upper-division engineering technology program at the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT). Program results included the following: (1) eight high…
