through a follow-up study that had been used in previous years to collect data oncurrent trends and issues related to the field. This paper will discuss the overarching issues andtrends currently in technical/engineering education and one significant area within the surveythat dealt directly with new instructional strategies for graphics education (i.e. distanceeducation). One section of the survey explored distance education in technical/engineeringgraphics education; as prior research suggested that changes had occurred in the instructionaltopics and practices of the field. Previous research also shows that instructors wondered if thesame topics were being taught and the same technology was being used by graphicsprofessionals as a part of their

Page 12.1447.7As a first step toward establishing best practices for delivering engineering design andcontent through professional development, engineers and technology teacher educatorsfrom each of the technology teacher education (TTE) partner institutions conceptualized,developed, and delivered a series of workshops. While the format and specific contentvaried across the five professional development sites, a balance between theoreticalcontent and activity-based experiences has been maintained. At the conclusion of eachworkshop, participating high school teachers completed similar surveys, which weredesigned to facilitate analysis and reflection. Building on lessons learned during theinitial year of the Center (2005), the TTE institutions

To have an impact, theymust influence what happens in every K-12 classroom in America.” Technology education shares engineering education’s desire to emphasize open-ended problem solving and the design process. For example, Standard 8 delineates designsteps very similar to those introduced to engineering students. In order to recognize theattributes of design, students in grades 9-12 should learn that the design process includes: • defining a problem, • brainstorming

Together, expectancy-value and multicasemethods frameworks shaped participant selection and data analysis choices. Examples of thesechoices can be seen through this section. The data analyzed for this study were collected as part of a larger body of work, the AcademicPathways Study (APS), conducted by the NSF-funded Center for Advancement of EngineeringEducation (CAEE).

parts of engineering practice. In describing the foundation of the practice, Koen [19,p. 10] defines the engineering method as, “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorlyunderstood or uncertain situation within the available resources.” One could succinctly use thewords optimization or innovation in place of the Koen definition. Furthermore, change thecontext or application and this portrayal of the engineering method is equally meaningful to thepractice of leadership! In a nutshell, we have identified solid and robust common groundbetween engineering and leadership. To follow this theme in more detail, let us consider the Lucas and Hanson [20] list of sixelements that they call engineering habits of mind. In other words, the

Global Learning/Study Abroad: Many have presented the need for engineersto be more aware of global issues, cultural concerns, and even global constraintsin design. In fact, Shuman, et al. [9] state that future engineering graduates need“to become highly innovative global ‘problem solvers.’” Downey, et al.[10]present the required competencies for an engineer to be “globally competent.”Global learning may even impact the lifelong learning of graduates. As studentsbecome more aware of differences in clusters, even in engineering design, theyrealize their need to learn throughout their lives[11

Moreover, project management, team work, development of realisticexpectations and practical solutions are skills that are much demanded by industry in addition todomain-specific technical specialization. We therefore propose a methodology for teachingstandards that creates favorable conditions for developing those skills.The combination of lecture-centered education [2] with laboratory-centered approaches [3], [4],has been adopted in the engineering curriculum when the Conceive, Design

Each year, threeprojects were selected to move forward with others likely to be implemented.The team with the “winning” pitch was able to convince the judges that their solution was notonly the best tripe-bottom-line return on investment, but the one most grounded and workable.Winning teams engaged stakeholders for feedback regarding implementing their project,performed a detailed cost analysis based on comparable implementation at similar universities,and documented a significant ROI in each area
