...successful pursuit of research by engineering faculty has an enormous amount to offer in undergraduate education. The fact that very little adaptation has yet been done indicates a lack of motivation to do the job, rather than a lack of possibility. (Author/DF)

Presented is a discussion of engineering technology, what it is, and how it differs from engineering. (BB)

The focus of this summary volume reporting on several parallel studies is an application of technology to the problems of health care and the role of the university in responding to health care needs through biomedical engineering. A brief description of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is presented. A list of reports, issued by the…

Presents findings of the Engineering Manpower Commission's 1983 survey of engineering technology enrollments. Includes data on enrollments for all students by curriculum and academic year; women and minorities; all associate degree programs by institutions; all bachelor degree programs; and for Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology…

Discussed are problems facing mining and mineral engineering education and the prospects for future resolution of the problems. (SL)

Reviews both baccalaureate and associate degree programs in engineering technology. These programs have increased and expanded primarily as a response to society's demand for technical manpower. (MLH)

A revised version of a paper presented at a mini-plenary session of the 88th Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, June 25, 1980, is discussed. A panel of industry and government representatives addressed the question of the kinds of educational backgrounds that will be called…

Inventories the past and current national effort in programs of two to four years duration in engineering technology education, assesses the strengths and weaknesses of current educational practice in this domain, and suggests directions for future effort. Statistical data, a bibliography and an index are appended. (Author/TS)

Surveys the course requirements in the humanities and social sciences for 100 two and four year technology programs. For some associate programs, only one or two courses are required; in 40 percent of the cases studied, the requirement is for three courses, or nine semester hours credit. (MLH)

Describes how manpower needs due to recent technological developments have stimulated engineering technology programs. Also describes how various technical and professional societies of the engineering profession have expanded their structure to include engineering technology. (MLH)

Since 1996, the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration (SMEA) in Taiwan has supported various institutions to establish incubation centers (ICs) for facilitating start-ups and innovation. At present, there are 79 ICs in total and 65 (or 83%) of them are established in universities/colleges. Most ICs in the universities/colleges offering…

States that the downward movement in undergraduate engineering enrollments can be attributed to demographic factors. Provides data on enrollment in specific schools and states, including details for women, minorities, and foreign nationals (in engineering only). Cites information for each program title within the general disciplinary groups. (RT)

Reported are the results of a survey of engineering and engineering technology (E.T.) faculties. Comparisons are drawn between various segments of these two communities. The deans' views of their critical problems in administering engineering and E.T. programs are described. (KR)

This paper describes an introductory course in microprocessors and microcomputers implemented at Grossmont College. The current state-of-the-art in the microprocessor field is discussed, with special emphasis on the 8-bit MOS single-chip processors which are the most commonly used devices. Objectives and guidelines for the course are presented,…

This report gives the number of engineering and technology degrees for the school year ending in June 1974. Tables appear in the following order: engineering degrees (bachelor's, master's, engineer's, doctor's) and technology degrees (associate, bachelor's, certificate, master's). The engineering tables include all 284 schools known to offer…
