(*See page11 for more details and prize information) Publications Mail Agreement # 40875508 3 From the Editor Hello and welcome to the spring edition of the TechNova newsletter. My name is Mark Bamford and I am the new editor of our magazine, Leadership in Technology. Ed Lingley, our pervious editor has left us for the greener pastures of retirement. Ed’s sense of humour and his historical knowledge of TechNova/SCETTNS will be sorely missed, though I imagine he will never be more than an e-mail away if we ever need advice. I became a member of TechNova in 1993 and like many, I found life to be very full with no time in a day between work and family to even consider adding other things to the mix such as volunteering my time to TechNova, so I do understand how hard it is to give up any free time you have. Having said that, we are an association of over 1500 members and growing every year, yet it seems that the same faces and names keep coming up whenever it is time to do association business. With today’s age of digital communication bringing us all closer together, your help is even easier to give than before and make no mistake, we can use your help. Your help in even the small- est of ways will make a big difference to our association and the other members. If you are interested in support- ing your organization please call or email the TechNova office. For those of you who are now volunteering and those who will volunteer in the future, well done and thank you very much. With the ongoing economic scares of raising interest rates, job cuts and company closures, it is the person with the best resume and qualifications who will find the job search the easiest. One of the ways of ensuring that your resume is given a second look is to make sure you do not let your professional designation lapse. Too often we have had members coming to us trying to have their professional status reinstated to an active member in good standing only to discover the qualifications they hold are no longer current enough to re-qualify without extra study courses. It may not seem like a big thing when we have a job and the future looks good but this is the exact time we should be preparing ourselves for whatever the future may bring. We recently wrapped up our AGM which was held at the Ramada Park in Burnside and I am glad to say it was a big success with a good turnout. There were some newer members in attendance and a big welcome and thanks for participating in your organization goes out to them. For those of you, who could not make it; check out the web site in the coming days for some AGM pictures. Speaking of our website, it has undergone a bit of a renovation and if you haven’t been there in a while I encour- age you to check it out at www.technova.ca. If you have any comments or suggestions, please pass it on to the TechNova office. Only through your feedback can we make what is ours better and something to be proud of. Leadership in Technology is your magazine and as such I encourage you as technology professionals to use this magazine as a way of expressing yourselves. It can be anything from a letter to the editor to an article of interest to you and our members. Any and all letters or pictures would be welcome. It is through your contributions that our magazine is successful. I would like to take this time to wish you all a safe, happy and relaxing summer and I look forward to hearing from you.

(Dues are pro-rated and are tax deductible.) 5 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Members, I would like start by thanking all the volunteers that have worked over the past year to ensure that we continue to move forward. Our ability to do so much with so few active members is amazing. i invite you to join me in saying a special thank you to Mr. Steven Shaw, CCTT National Director for five years. in October, i replaced Steve as the National director, and found a Board that has deep respect for Steve. I only hope that I will be able to accomplish as much serving in this position. Another person that is deserving of our thanks is Mr. Ed Lingley; without his guidance, the past two years would have been very difficult. Ed has announced that as of the end of March, he will be leaving the ESO position and entering fulltime retirement. Without an influx of volunteers, we will have a difficult time in the coming years.

Dr. Evan is Associate Professor of Sociology and Industrial Management. He was formerly at Bell Telephone Laboratories and Columbia University. / ' 73 >t^ , Dewey ABSTRACT The engineering technician occupies a position in the occupational hierarchy intermediate between that of the engineer and that of the craftsman. His ambivalence regarding his status and the ambivalence of others towards him contribute to his marginal position. The marginality of the engineering techni- cian is also reflected in the heterogeneous nature of his work, the multiplicity of titles used to designate his work, his education and training, the rate and method of compensation, his self-image and the public images of his occupation. Various adapta- tions to the built-in role strains of his occupation are analyzed. The ratio of engineering technicians to engineers is markedly lower in the United States than it is in Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and West Germany, The cultural values placed on achievement and the college-centered character of the American educational system contribute to this shortage.

Published by National Academy Press; Washington, D.C.; 1986; ISBN: 0-309-03639-9; Pages 74 - 75. Background: In the late 1970’s under the umbrella of what was then the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development (ECPD), now Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), many of the engineering societies participated in a comprehensive review of definitions including that of engineering, the engineer, and the engineering technologist and technician. Their report entitled “The Engineering Team” was approved by the ECPD Board of Directors in 1979, and contained the following definitions and explanatory notes: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: Electrical Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. Electrical Engineer: With a strong background in mathematics, the basic physical sciences, and the engineering sciences, the engineer must be able to interrelate engineering principles with economic, social, legal, aesthetic, environmental and ethical issues, extrapolating beyond the technical domain. The engineer must be a conceptualizer, a designer, a developer, a formulator of new techniques, a producer of standards - all to help meet societal needs. The engineer must plan and predict, systematize and evaluate - must be able to judge systems and components with respect to their relation to health, safety and welfare of people, and to loss of property.

    AC 2011-2740: A REVIEW OF ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN EDUCA- TION IN AUSTRALIA: David Dowling, University of Southern Queensland Professor David Dowling is passionate about helping engineering students learn and achieve their ca- reer goals. As Professor of Engineering Education at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) his research and development activities are focused on enhancing curricula, and teaching and learning envi- ronments. Professor Dowling was Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) from 1995 to until January 2009. He was a President of the Australasian Association for Engineering Education in 2005-2006, and was awarded an Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) Citation in 2008. David was the lead author of the recently published first year text: Engineering Your Future: An Australasian Guide. Professor Dowling is currently leading two major research projects: A study of engineering technician education in Australia, which was funded by a USQ Senior Fellowship; and The Define Your Discipline Project, an ALTC funded project that aims to develop a process that can be used by a discipline to de- velop detailed graduate outcomes for that discipline.

  • Who Speaks for Engineering Technology the Role of The
    Session 2546 Who Speaks for Engineering Technology - The Role of the Engineering Technology Council Walter W. Buchanan, Willard D. Bostwick Middle Tennessee State University/ Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis Abstract The national engineering technology community needs a voice. This article explores the role of the Engineering Technology Council (ETC) of the American Society for Engineering Education (A SEE) in providing a voice for the national engineering technology community. The article gives a brief history of the ETC and looks into what the ETC might do to enhance the position of engineering technology in the engineering spectrum, Introduction In 1970 Winston D. Purvine became the first chair of the Engineering Technology Council. The ETC was created to assess and recommend policies affecting the overall administration of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited technical colleges and schools. The ETC can also be used to provide forums for discussion and an information exchange concerning problems and experiences of technical colleges and institutions, to represent and to speak on behalf of member technical colleges, and to cooperate with other segments of the Society on matters of common interest. 1 Although the ETC and the Engineering Technology Division (ETD) represent and are the voice of the engineering technology community within ASEE, it is generally recognized that the ETC has not become an effective voice for engineering technology the way the Engineering Dean’s Council has become for the engineering community. This is unfortunate since the first guiding principle of the ETC in performing its mission of promoting quality education in engineering technology is to speak collectively for engineering technology institutions.2 ABET Engineering technology has especially lacked an effective voice within the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

  • Characteristics of Excellence in Engineering Technology Education
    CHARACTERISTICS OF EXCELLENCE IN ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION Final Report of The Evaluation of Technical Institute Education American Society for Engineering Education 1962 Additional copies of this report may be obtained from professor W. Leighton Collins, Secretary, The American Society for Engineering Education, University of Ulinois, Urbana, Illinois. Price: Individual copies, $ 0.25 each; in lots of 50 to 100, $ 0.20 each; in lots of 100 or more, $ 0.12: each. FOREWORD In the past few years much has been written about the technical manpower shortage in the United States. In the mass media and sometimes even in the technical press one can see an unfortunate tendency to equate this short- age with a shortage of scientists and engineers. We tend to lose sight of the fact that a substantial part of the problem can be attributed to a shortage of engineering technicians. There are even those who claim that if technicians were properly utilized, there would be no short- age of engineers. Be that as it may, there is no serious disagreement that as the short supply of engineers continues, there will be greater and greater use made of engineering technicians. The potential impact of the technician shortage upon national defense and the nation's economic growth has induced national, state, and local legislation to supply funds for the expansion of some levels of technical education. The total effect of this legislation is, as yet, diffi- cult to assess since many states are essentially still in the planning stage. However, it now appears obvious that with government support as a stimulus we may ex- pect to see a continuing growth in the number of technical curricula being offered.
