Attitude Of Students Entering Engineering Technology Programs

Educators are always interested in learning more about their students’ attitudes. Many studies of this kind were conducted for engineering programs in the last five years 1,2,3,4 . The focuses of this study are primarily on the engineering technology students’ own ratings relative to different knowledge bases, skills and abilities and their levels of educational and occupational aspirations 5,6 . The results were used to compare the attitude of ET freshmen with those who prefer engineering over ET within the normative data in the academic backgrounds and achievements.
