Council Meeting September 22-23, 2017 the Kingbridge Centre, King City ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF CERTIFIED ENGINEERING TECHNICIANS AND TECHNOLOGISTS Council Meeting September 22-23, 2017 The Kingbridge Centre, King City Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists Nominating Committee Report September 22-23, 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL This summer the Nominating Committee has been busy interviewing candidates to put forward for Council Approval for; Student Representative on Council and Regional Secretary-Treasurer for both Eastern and Central Regions. As I write this I can report that the Nominating Committee has conducted candidate interviews for the Student Representative and Secretary-Treasurer, Eastern Region and have candidates to put forth for both positions. We have scheduled interviews for the Secretary-Treasurer position for Central Region and if the committee agrees will have a nominee to put forth for this position. For the Student Position, an OAB e-vote was conducted in late July and a name was selected which we will be putting a motion forward asking you to confirm. We had two excellent candidates, one from Confederation College in Thunder Bay and one from St. Lawrence College. It was a difficult decision for the committee to make and I’ll provide a verbal report on the reasoning behind our selection at Council. Candidates for the Eastern Region Secretary-Treasurer position were both extremely qualified and this speaks to the depth of our talent pool of volunteers. Selecting a nominee was extremely difficult and the committee struggled for some time to select the nominee. I’ll provide a verbal report on the reasoning behind our decision at Council. If Council agrees with the nominating committee’s recommendations, we will have completed our mandate to ensure that we have all volunteer positions within our purview filled. The committee looks forward to beginning the work on several policy items. On behalf of the Committee I’ll provide comment and ask for direction and approval in future Council meetings. Respectfully Submitted, Bob van den Berg, C.E.T. Chair, Nominating Committee Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists President’s Report September 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL I would like to welcome everyone to OACETT Council and trust everyone had a great summer!

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.

  • 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.
