a real appreciation for what DSP is all about: processing signals quickly andefficiently to achieve some practical objective(s).The traditional textbook approach to teaching FFTs is to present students with a complicated setof equations showing how data is separated into pairs, processed using a 2-pt FFT, thenrecombined with another 2-pt FFT. The pairs of 2-pt FFTs are then processed to create a set of4-pt FFTs and the process is repeated until one single N-pt FFT has been computed. Theequations are typically followed with a Butterfly diagram used to illustrate the flow of data.While the idea is easy to convey to engineering technology students, the equations tend to beoverwhelming for most of my students.

They spend the next several weeksindividually recreating their part(s) within a solid modelling software package. Assessment of astudent’s 3D results is based on a combination of visual comparison of the computer versionrelative to the actual part coupled with a comparison of the computer calculated mass (requiresthe students to correctly identify the material of their part) with the actual mass of the part. Thefinal grade assigned does factor in an assessment of the degree of difficulty to recognize thevariability in the student’s assigned parts. High quality work is also rewarded through

As a result, the last half-century of engineers have been highly technicallytrained, but generally lack the skills often associated with other successful professionals, such as

Technology education is often misunderstood – it has undergone a significanttransformation since the mid-1980’s. At the core of this transformation is a transitionfrom education associated with the industrial arts to education associated withtechnological literacy and engineering education in K-12 schools. This transformation ishardly complete, in part, because of stereotypical attitudes held by many.

A sample course schedule can be seen in the syllabuslocated in the Appendix. The course begins with the discussion of what ethics is in the narrowscope of the American “baseball, apple pie and mom” mentality and deals with issues that arerelatively straightforward. This approach addresses ethics from a fundamental moral standpointand uses case studies surrounding issues such as Ford Pinto’s exploding gas tank of the late1970’s and the space shuttle

As discussedabove, there has been a renewed emphasis in the U.S. on space exploration, and companies whoare developing the technologies necessary for new space exploration will need engineers trainedin astronautics. There is also continued growth in the area of space utilization fortelecommunications, imaging, weather forecasting, and other fields, and the companies andmanufacturers involved in these areas, such as the design and construction of earth satellites,need engineers trained in astronautics.

adult is naive and uninformed, if he's never learned to be a mapmaker. (p.10)The intent of the CareerQuesting model is that boys and girls will be taught to be “mapmakers”as part of the regular curriculum. A quest usually refers to a long journey of discovery andlearning, with a person seeking an important goal or treasure at the end. Students need a map forthis inevitable “career” quest each must embark upon. They need to know how to make such amap, and how to use the map. The goal of evaluating websites is to provide teachers with betteraccess to some of the best tools and resources to help create a generation of mapmakers that willbe comprised of both boys and girls.References1.
