Byers, William S. – 1976
A survey of 531 electrical engineering graduates of the University of Alabama who had received bachelor's degrees in the years 1950 through 1974 showed that the educational needs of a majority of the respondents could have been adequately served by the mathematics levels present in the engineering technology program. In addition, certain subjects…

Sharples, Kent – Engineering Education, 1977
Briefly reports on the structure and evaluation of an individually-paced, two year civil engineering technology curriculum sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant. The written modules progress linearly with support media presentations. Students in the self-paced program generally outperformed lecture-based students on cognitive…

Byers, William S. – Engineering Education, 1977
There is little agreement between industry and educators concerning the roles to be played by engineering or engineering technology programs and by their respective graduates. This study found that industry accepts Bachelor of engineering technology programs as alternatives to technical careers and to the title "engineer" while educators do not.…

Schon, James F. – Engineering Education, 1977
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…

Konon, Walter – Engineering Education, 1977
Bachelor of engineering technology (B.E.T.) programs were created in response to the need for graduates who are ready for productive industrial jobs, not for graduate school. It is suggested that there should be communication between the engineering technology and the traditional engineering faculties to provide strong educational programs. (MA)

Peer reviewedWaks, S. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1990
Discussed is the need for professors to be able to obtain updated reliable data regarding the professional requirements of their graduating students. The development and design of a theory that will establish a definitional system for skills and knowledge required for graduation is described. (KR)

Taylor, Mary Louise, Ed. – 1979
This investigation was undertaken to discover how effectively U.S. postsecondary curricula in key development fields are meeting the needs of students who will return to careers in countries much less developed industrially than the United States and which have very different agricultural and health-care needs. Research focused on U.S. curricula…
