The 16 technical colleges of the Technical College System of South Carolina in partnership with industry, public education, and the National Science Foundation (NSF-ATE DUE 9602440) have begun a five-year odyssey to reform the educational programs for engineering technology. This reform is needed because of two forces driving curriculum change. First, industry leaders emphasize that technicians need more than technical skills in the changing industrial environment. Second, knowledge gained from educational research on learning theory, new classroom methodologies, and improved instructional technology has made these changes possible. To reform the curriculum, interdisciplinary (mathematics, science, technology, and communication) faculty teams from across the state were formed and participated in faculty development activities involving learning theory, classroom methodologies, and instructional technology.
