In other words, an understanding the nature of engineering(NOE) could improve students’ learning outcomes of engineering and technology. It could alsoaffect how engineers see and conduct their professional lives after they graduate.11Research has shown that the attitudes of high-school students toward engineering become morefavorable as their knowledge of engineering increase.12 The International Technology

Priorstudies of people’s (children and adults) perceptions of engineering describe peoples’ ability tonotice the visible aspect of engineering created by civil (buildings, bridges), mechanical (cars,machines) and electrical engineering (electrical energy that runs our machines). An examinationof their descriptions of engineering, however, often contains misconceptions. If teachers are partof the solution to develop students’ awareness of engineering, then we need to better understandtheir abilities to identify engineering within the world and to talk about it with their students.
