AB  -            MS in Engineering Technology: A View from Control SystemsAbstractIn the decades following the 1955 Grinter report, over 96 U.S. institutions have developedTAC/ABET B.S. degrees in Engineering Technology (ETEC), with at least 50 of thesesustaining enrollments of 200+ students in fall 2010 according to ASEE data. On the other hand,since the 1980’s only about 14 institutions have created master’s degrees in ETEC. Onefundamental question posed in the opposing debate is whether ETEC curricula rise to thenecessary scientific rigor of traditional M.S. degrees. Hence, some programs have evolved fromMaster of Science in Technology or Master of Technology versions.This article describes the requirements of an M.S. in ETEC – Systems Control Technology andasserts that the M.S. in ETEC can stand on equal footing with M.S. programs in any other field –particularly in engineering when viewed from the perspective of (i) the scientific level ofgraduate ETEC courses; (ii) the roles that ETEC graduates perform in the engineeringprofession; and (iii) the philosophy of research in ETEC. Although examples may be drawnfrom any ETEC area, these perspectives are undertaken using a graduate level course in digitalcontrol systems touching on pre-requisites, mathematics depth, the typical requirements andspecifications language used in the design of a digital control system, the tools and techniquesneeded to solve the problem, and the fulfilled expectations regarding the philosophy of researchin ETEC. Finally, two student project examples from Biomedical and Chemical ETEC are alsopresented to highlight the program rigor. Ultimately, ETEC programs at the undergraduate andgraduate levels will continue to play a critical role in increasing the number of qualifiedprofessionals entering the engineering profession.
