Almost any technical curriculum is challenged by students that are not technically oriented. Terminology, basic science, machine concepts, technical terminology and common sense are key ingredients required when entering an engineering technology program. Experience in my courses indicate students that do not have basic technical mechanical knowledge are at a disadvantage and do not compete on a level playing field with other technical oriented students. The paper outlines the problem and suggests applied approaches and teaching strategies. The advantages to tailoring instruction to the non technical student will result in improved retention and a more informed and more interested student.
