Abstract :
The authors describe how, using National Science Foundation guidelines, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Department at Queensborough Community College (USA) has designed a pilot project intended to: maximize student mastery of engineering technology so they can grow professionally with advances in technology; create a model instructional environment that provides a learning experience for students that will prepare them for the contemporary work place; heighten student interest and academic commitment to the electrical and computer engineering technology curriculum; and share courseware, applications of technology, teaching methodologies, and outcomes of the project for enrichment of the science, engineering, and technology curricula at the college level
