    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.

  • 8348 Transportation Engineering Technologist
    8348 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIST NATURE OF WORK Serves in a managerial or program expert capacity in either the engineering or construction field/area of highway and bridge construction and maintenance. Manages a unit in a district or division, or may manage a specific division-wide technical function requiring expert level knowledge, or may be licensed land surveyor. As a unit manager, supervises lower level supervisors, technicians and/or professional employees. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Engineering Technologist (Level 5) is distinguished from Transportation Engineering Technician - Senior in that incumbents at this level are managers of operational units with significant technical characteristics as opposed to supervisors of specific projects or less technical units/functions, or they are responsible for a special division-wide technical program that requires the highest degree of expertise in that specific technical field. The State Highway Engineer of the Division of Highways will make determinations as to technical characteristics/expertise. In the field of survey, this level is reserved for the licensed land surveyor. ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS (Any specific position in this class may not include all of the duties listed, nor do the examples listed cover all of the duties which may be assigned.) Provide managerial oversight for subordinate supervisors and the program/projects to which they are assigned. Evaluate the work of subordinate supervisors and employees. Review and/or calculate technical data relating to engineering and construction projects. Review project design and construction plans prepared by consultants. Communicate with consultant engineers to discuss prospective or ongoing projects and plans. Perform field reviews of engineering and construction projects. Meet with various parties having an interest in projects, including representatives of state government, legislators, community leaders, regulators and other interest groups.

  • Civil Engineering Technology Program
    Civil Engineering SCIENCE AND Technology Program TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM: The Civil Engineering Technology program at Fairmont State University prepares graduates to participate in the planning, analysis, design, construction, operation and maintenance of roadways, airports, tunnels, bridges, water supply and distribution systems and waste collection and treatment systems. The curriculum is a highly flexible 2 + 2 curriculum. Once the two-year degree is earned, graduates may choose to enter the workforce or continue their education with two years at the baccalaureate level. The Associate of Science degree in Civil Engineering Technology provides technical courses in the fundamentals of engineering technology, surveying, construction materials and methods, computer graphics, civil engineering graphics, construction estimating, structures, and environmental engineering technology. Most of the technical courses provide a combination of lecture and laboratory experiences. In addition, technical courses are underpinned with instruction in mathematics and science, written and oral communication skills, which are utilized subsequently in the technical courses. The Bachelor of Science degree provides students a greater emphasis on analysis and design with specialized classes in hydraulics and hydrology, soil mechanics and foundation design, structural analysis and design, water and wastewater systems, and construction management, coupled with additional classes in science and mathematics, and attributes in Fine Arts, Health & well being,
