  • General Occupational Technology (GOT)
    CURRICULUM PROCEDURES REFERENCE MANUAL SECTION 12 General Occupational Technology (GOT) Approved by the State Board of Community Colleges on November 13, 1996. Revised by SBCC on 11/19/04. Revised by SBCC on 10/19/07. Editorial Revision 07/17/13 General Occupational Technology (GOT) (A55280) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The General Occupational Technology (GOT) curriculum provides individuals with an opportunity to upgrade their skills and earn an associate degree, diploma, or certificate by taking courses that offer specific job knowledge and skills. The curriculum content will be individualized for students according to their occupational interests and needs. A program of study for each student will be developed from any non-developmental level courses from approved curriculum programs of study offered by the College. Graduates will become more effective workers, better qualified for advancements within their field of employment, and better qualified for a wide range of entry-level employment opportunities. All courses included in the GOT must be taken from approved associate of applied science, diploma or certificate programs. Career and College Promise Students may not be enrolled in General Occupational Technology programs. GENERAL GUIDELINES Approval to offer the General Occupational Technology program is granted by the System President. To gain program approval, the college president must submit a request in writing to the System President [Reference: 1D SBCCC 400.6 (3)]. Colleges are not required to file programs of study for the GOT with the System Office (CC-96-22 and 1D SBCCC 400.10 (d)) due to the unique nature of the program. A diploma or certificate may be pulled from the General Occupational Technology Associate of Applied Science degree to meet the needs of local industry.

    ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT CAREER INFORMATION ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING & ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY: From the book: “Engineering Education and Practice in the United States - Engineering Infrastructure Diagramming and Modeling” Prepared by: Panel on Engineering Infrastructure Diagramming and Modeling, Committee on the Education and Utilization of the Engineer, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, National Research Council. 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.

  • 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.
