Students are recruited through STEM non-profit affiliates,e.g., Project Lead The Way, Girl Scouts, and via social media and contacting large, urban schooldistricts. Students apply online through the program’s website and are selected based on thequality and composition of two essays. Academic performance, e.g., GPA, class rank, or APcoursework, is purposefully not considered in the application. Racial information is collected atthe time of application; however, it is blinding during the selection process and only analyzedafter students are notified of their acceptance to the program.

It also allows for identification of questions that mightnot properly assess knowledge of a specific topic.Outcomes from the sophomore exam and FE exam can also be used in conjunction with oneanother.

They sought to define by examples the differences between the two (see exhibit 2). Oneapproach offered by Krupczak et al was to distinguish between the two literacies as processand project which is the approach adopted here. Technologies are the products of the processof engineering. If that is in anyway correct, then while useful to engineering educators inschool and higher education it is no wonder that the public is confused about the differencesbetween “technologists” and “engineers,” and no wonder the media tend to use the term“technologist” more often than they do the term “engineer.” The thinking is easy
