The Engineering Technology Division (ETD) of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) has as its principal function the support of individual member interests related to engineering technology education. Its membership is composed of public and private two and four-year engineering technology educators from all over the world, as well as representatives from industries that employ engineering technology graduates. A number of engineering educators are also members.
ETD sponsors national and regional meetings, publishes a newsletter, promotes studies of engineering technology, and publishes a journal. The Engineering Technology Division acts as a general forum for the exchange of ideas pertinent to the disciplines, administration, and industrial interests in engineering technology education. It offers members an opportunity to become involved in up-to-date information exchange and personal contacts with others sharing similar interests. You can join the Engineering Technology Division through the ASEE website (http://www.asee.org) as part of being an ASEE member. In addition to becoming plugged into the ET community at a national level, your dues give you the following benefits.
