The website is similar to the U.S. Departmentof Education’s What Works Clearinghouse (http://www.whatworks.ed.gov/>), except thatPR2OVE-IT does not engage in extensive pre-screening of papers for rigor.

. IntroductionIn a review of recent research, Gaff reported in his article “The Disconnect Between GraduateEducation and Faculty Realities” that graduate students are not equipped for the faculty positionsthey accept and have little exposure to other career paths outside the academy 1. Graduatestudents reported not having enough information to help them choose or plan for a career. Oneresponse for this lack of information is the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program launched in1993 by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Council of GraduateSchools. The PFF program is designed to expose students to the teaching profession and provideinformation about academic careers. Several research universities have Preparing Future

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

The most salient feature of PCM rests in the multiple curricular configurations that result from the use of four interrelated and parallel designs for organizing curriculum: Core, Practice, Connections, and Identity. The four parallels offer opportunities to optimize student learning through the creation of a curriculum that is more meaningful, powerful, and engaging in the education of confident and competent engineering professionals. Projects presented at past ASEE conferences are innovative because they address specific parallels, thus fleshing out a student’s overall education.
