TOPICS IN TEACHING ENGINEERING AND ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

Abstract

Topics are covered here on good methods todeliver engineering and engineering technology education.Faculty members in Turkey and the United States arelooking at some important issues involved in automationsystem design from the cognitive systems engineeringperspective to propose a design framework. At PurdueUniversity’s Calumet campus a new mechatronicsengineering technology degree with industry collaborationhas been developed. And at the University of Central Floridasome selection criteria for offering online courses inengineering and technology are discussed.Index Terms ⎯ engineering and engineering technologyeducation, automation system design, cognitive systemsengineering, mechatronics engineering technology, selectioncriteria for offering online courses.
