Good day to all. I've been asked to assist with evaluating questions for=20 an Electronics Engineering Technology exam as well as helping come=20 up with new questions. I've been able to offer constructive=20 criticism for the existing questions but they want a larger pool of=20 questions to choose from. These are to be multiple-choice questions - the existing questions=20 all have 4 choices. If the questions require calculation, they=20 should be simple enough that the calculations should be able to be=20 done easily without requiring a calculator. Pencil and paper is just=20 fine, or done entirely in one's head. Generally speaking, our definitions are as follows: Technologist: 1=20 year course. Engineering Technologist: 2 or 3 year=20 course. Engineering: 4 year course or longer. Engineering=20 Technologists help bridge the gap between what a Technologist and an=20 Engineer can do. Electronics Engineering Technologists (EETs) are=20 often involved in circuit or product design, sometimes working with=20 engineers, sometimes working on their own. Troubleshooting is a=20 primary skill requirement. The existing pool of questions do include some programming questions=20 - all written in C. I'm not particularly fond of those questions=20 because not all EETs write code. In fact, many do not. But all EETs=20 should know most analog and digital circuit concepts. If there are=20 programming questions, they should be language agnostic. That is:=20 not based on a detailed knowledge of any particular language (C,=20 Basic, Java, whatever). Suitable questions can include: identify what a particular circuit=20 block is doing (4 choices). Identify the gain of an op-amp circuit=20 (4 choices). I'm not sure what else to ask. I'm not looking for trick questions intended to trip someone=20 up. Rather, we want questions that help determine the level of=20 competence of that individual. Questions can include circuit diagrams, block diagrams, text,=20 graphics. Answers are all multiple choice. So far as I know, only=20 one correct choice is permitted. That's actually too bad, really. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. In particular, pointers to=20 existing questions are appreciated. I don't want to copy existing=20 questions exactly but rather, want ideas for creating either new=20 questions or variations of existing questions. I go into a meeting next week and would very much like to offer some=20 suggestions.
