2006 Engineering Technology Education Bibliography

Journal of Engineering Technology, Fall 2007 by Dyrud, Marilyn A

Abstract

The 2006 bibliography lists books and articles related to engineering technology education under the following headings: administration, aerospace, architectural, assessment, biomedical/biotechnology, civil, computers, curriculum, distance education, diversity, electrical/electronics, faculty development, industrial, industry/government/ employers, information technology, instructional technology, international, laboratories, liberal studies, manufacturing, mechanical, nuclear, teaching methodology, tech prep, technical communication, and technical graphics. Five categories-instructional technology, liberal studies, teaching methodology, technical communication, and technical graphics-include listings reflecting general technical education concerns.

Entries are listed according to area of primary emphasis, and items that apply to two or more academic disciplines are included under the area of major interest. For example, ECET-related papers are included under "Electrical/Electronics"; mechatronics papers are listed under "Mechanical." Our apologies are offered for any entries that may have been missed or inadvertently placed in the wrong category.

Introductory Remarks

Since this year marks the 20th anniversary of the ETE Bibliography, it seems fitting to provide a little historical context and comment on the role of the bibliography.

The bibliography is the brainchild of Frank Gourley, recently retired as division director for engineering technology at West Virginia Institute of Technology and longtime chair of the ETC Publications Committee. The initial impetus was to collect the scholarship of engineering technology in a central repository and improve the visibility of engineering technology within ASEE, but another purpose has evolved over the years: the publication now serves as a research aid for the engineering technology community. The first bibliography was published in the April/May 1987 edition of Engineering Education; it was a modest five pages and included 137 entries.
