a. Rationale
for creation, revision, or deletion:
A recent review by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC=ABET) suggested that one academic program would be better than two similar programs.
The Bioresources Engineering Technology major (BET) was deleted last year.
The proposed concentrations help to define and identify specializations within general engineering technology.
The new curriculum provides sufficient upper level courses to meet TAC of ABET recommendations.
b. Summary
of program:
1. Modify the Core Curriculum in Engineering Technology to accommodate the “no concentration” plus the two proposed concentrations, Construction Technology and Technical Management, and Applied Electronics and Controls.
2. Delete the existing concentrations called Technical Applications
3. Delete (or significantly revise) the concentration called Technical Management.
4. There is one addition to the list of communications courses recognizing the current availability of courses.
5. There are changes to the lists of required and recommended courses in the two concentrations and the “no concentration.”
6. New courses are proposed and those were be submitted through the Course Inventory System.
7. The proposed curriculum has been reviewed by the department’s undergraduate Industrial Advisory Committee, and by the College of Engineering Dean’s Office.

Revised 04/23/01
The Bioresources Engineering Department offers an undergraduate major in Engineering Technology that is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC of ABET).
Engineering technology
is part of the broad discipline of engineering, in which knowledge of the
mathematical and natural sciences is applied in utilization of materials and
forces. Engineering technology requires
the application of scientific and engineering knowledge combined with technical
skills in support of engineering activities.
The curriculum prepares the engineering technologist to make independent
judgments and to design and manage systems and components to achieve conceptual
goals with consideration of their effectiveness, safety and cost. Close liaison is maintained between the
educational programs and employers to give graduates the greatest opportunity
for career development.
Within the major in engineering technology, two
optional concentrations are available.
The applied electronics and controls concentration includes
coursework in digital systems, instrumentation, controls, PLC’s, and courses
that focus on communication and networks, or manufacturing. The construction technology and
technical management concentration provides courses in soil mechanics,
storm water management, wood and steel and concrete and masonry as well as
courses in project management and economic analysis. Both concentrations allow the student to focus their studies with
more in-depth courses in areas of their interest.
Students who choose the engineering technology major
may take all the necessary courses at the University of Delaware or they may
transfer appropriate course work from other accredited institutions. Students who wish to have prior course work
considered must contact an advisor in the department for a degree analysis.
Computer use for problem solving is important
throughout the engineering technology curriculum. Students are urged to have their own computer with spreadsheet
and word processing software, and should be able to connect to the University
computer network.

One
course from the following list:
EGTE 215 Applied Fluid Mechanics............... 4
EGTE 231 Fund. Of Statics and Strength of Materials............... 4
EGTE 244 Electricity for Engineering Technology............... 4
Furthermore, additional
courses must be completed so that EGTE credits total 20, of which at least 6
credits must be at the 300-level or above.
All engineering technology courses shall be selected with the approval
of an advisor in the Department of Bioresources Engineering to meet each
student’s objectives. For students interested
in environmental issues, courses could include: EGTE 103, 104, 215, and 328; for those interested in
electronics: EGTE 244, 245, 443, 444,
and 449. For students interested in
construction technology, courses could include: EGTE 104, 223, 312, 416, 454,
455 and 456. Courses can also be chosen
to give the student’s minor an emphasis in other areas such as manufacturing or
