Page 11.528.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Elementary Teachers’ Understandings of Engineering and TechnologyAlthough people spend over 95% of their time interacting with the human-made world, few canarticulate how our designed world came to be (engineering) and how the products that we havedeveloped to meet our needs (technology) function. This is largely due to the fact that thedisciplines of engineering and technology are not studied in the majority of schools in the UnitedStates.To produce a technologically literate society, we believe that all students should engage with thedisciplines of engineering and technology. Furthermore, we believe children’s exposure to thesedisciplines should commence when they begin their
