Based on the findings of this study, somesuggestions were provided at the end of the study for the reference of the inventory users andthe future researchers. The feedbacks of the ability assessments of each student to the relatedteachers to improve the teaching modules are useful for the higher technical and vocationaleducation.AcknowledgementThis work is supported by the National Science Council of Taiwan under contract numberNSC97-2511-S-131-006-MY3

This pilot studyshowed there is value in performing additional research examining teachers usinginnovative educational technologies to build affordable DIY digital teaching tools for theclassroom. Results from this study suggest it is possible that with the proper supportspreservice teachers might build DIY interactive digital whiteboards, and this maypositively influence their interest and engagement in teaching.Bibliography1.

Compared to traditional textbookproblems, understanding a real problem is more time consuming and requires more inquiry anddiscovery by the students. Real problems also require more independence, initiative andpatience on the part of the problem solver(s). Real world problems are not strongly disciplinaryin the traditional sense and require the integration of several skills that students acquire in theirprogram of study.

In the early 1990’s, the individual casting course was dropped from thecurriculum, and the remaining course was adapted to cover the three major areas of content(casting, fabrication and welding). In 2007, the author acquired the course and soon discoveredthe difficulty in attempting to cover the required content areas in the allotted thirty hours oflecture and twenty hours of lab time per quarter, while providing a sufficient degree of exposureand hands-on experience for the students. Additionally, based on the author’s industrialexperience, it was noted that the majority of the ETEC students were not acquiring practicalexperience in the areas of project management and process planning. Coverage of these criticalskills was also
