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

As time passed, theoretical instruction became more prominent and some ofthese colleges and schools pushed the technology portion of the curriculum to the peripheral,others simply eliminated technology altogether.The College of Engineering’s Division of Engineering Professional Education (ProEd) and theCollege of Technology’s Center for Professional Studies in Technology and Applied Research(ProSTAR) share a common purpose, mission and vision.

While the approach may be different at each institution thedirectors are investigating how to apply Rogers Theory of Diffusion as a framework to increasefaculty interest and movement toward placing courses and degree programs online. The firststep in the development of this process occurred in June 2009 with a workshop designed topromote the best practices for developing and delivering online engineering programs.Additionally a follow-up assessment is planned to help determine additional best practices.References1.

After 22 months, all members of the initialcohort format graduated in the May 2000 graduation ceremony. Because of its non-traditionalapproach, the state’s authorization included the establishment of a different fee structure thannormal on-campus classes which resulted in a program cost that was higher than traditional on-campus equivalent programs.The Center for Professional Studies in Technology and Applied Research (ProSTAR) wasapproved by Purdue University under the College of Technology as an

The mathematical impact was: ~$28,000 between paying theindividual’s salary for six months and the 30% of the individual’s salary it cost the company toreplace this person. Having an individual in a role they were not qualified for over the course ofsix months also adversely impacts the employer’s projected profit margins.
