Abstract

Industrial technologists frequently work with graduates of engineering and business programs suggesting that there may be some workplace derived benefit from establishing programs based on consistent standards. What makes a program? What are the essential elements of business, engineering, and industrial technology programs? The authors attempt to answer these and other questions by exploring how the accreditation systems define and specify the content and experiences that constitute a program.
