Guidelines are presented for evaluating the desirability of interactive computer graphic systems in various engineering disciplines. (BB)

Compared the career paths of engineers and engineer-managers. Discriminant analysis differentiated engineers from engineer-managers on affiliation and dominance needs and enterprising and investigative interests. Multiple regression analysis found achievement need and conventional interests were predictive of engineer-managers' job satisfaction,…

Examines some of the forces that create change in occupations, shows the types of newly developing and much-needed careers fostered by technological advancement, and demonstrates how to pursue education and training in preparation for entering one's chosen career. Careers include engineer, scientist, technician, craftsperson, and researcher. (CT)

This study of graduate student research at the doctoral level in four educational disciplines industrial engineering, industrial technology, mechanical engineering, and business administration undertook to determine the type of research (basic or applied) used in the student research, the research methods used, and the topics of research. The data…

Ecological problems create new career opportunities for the technician. (Editor)

To prepare students for several changes in careers during their lifetime, Technology Challenge is a program designed to meet the challenges in the evolution of technology education from traditional industrial arts. In a laboratory setting, students solve real-world problems using computer technology. (JOW)

The holistic approach to restructuring engineering technology education at the New Jersey Center for Advanced Technological Education includes partnerships for articulated programs, recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups, involvement of industrial personal, and faculty development in innovative instructional methods. (SK)

Provides job descriptions, outlines academic preparation, compares personal and job-related factors, and describes operations of a technical team for four occupations: scientists, engineers, engineering technologists, and engineering technicians. (SK)

Argues that the recording of music is both an act of social control and of aesthetics. Suggests that the remixing of previously recorded music to create a new recording is itself a form of artistic expression. Concludes that the possibility of remixing creates unending possibilities for artistic collaboration. (SG)

A Delphi panel of 14 experts identified 37 tasks performed by/qualities needed by manufacturing engineering technologists. Most important were work ethic, performance quality, communication skills, teamwork, computer applications, manufacturing basics, materials knowledge, troubleshooting, supervision, and global issues.
