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…
