All class members had a background in technology and engineeringeducation and were candidates for a Masters degree in Technology and Engineering Education atBYU. As part of the study, students studied ITEEA’s technological literacy standards found inthe STL, created unit and lesson plans for each standard, participated in a study related to the useof the literacy standards, critiqued peer lessons, and implemented lesson plans at the middle andjunior high school level.Technological Literacy Standards.

Developing Student Interest By Demonstration and Active ParticipationAbstract: It is very well known that developing and maintaining student interestis a challenging task for many engineering classes, especially for mandatoryclasses which are outside the students’ major. In this talk, a four-stage strategywill be presented. These stages include the concept based learning, multimediademonstration, experimental demonstration and active experiment participation.With the help of this planned approach, a better and more interesting atmospherefor learning can be created.Secin Guncavdi, Ph.D.Electrical and Computer EngineeringUniversity of Wisconsin, Madisonsguncav@engr.wisc.edu

Over time, the faculty have assessed that the studentsstruggle with elements of project execution such as planning and meeting intermediate deadlines.In order to improve the student learning, the faculty has revitalized the design sequence byincorporating project management techniques often found in the industrial setting.The new additions to the sequence include a score card rating system and the inclusion of projectmanagement techniques and strategies.

Studentdecisions have real consequences and their design and plan must work. For example, designinga product assembly fixture is not simply a CAD activity. The fixture is designed, built, tested foraccuracy, reliability, capacity, repeatability of set-up, etc. and must be robust enough to handlethe abuse in a production environment. The fixture must also be capable of withstanding theinevitable variability of the raw materials and parts for which it will be used. The average teamwill

Our goal for this project was to gainsome foundational understanding of how teachers plan to teach engineering, and their attentionto implementing other educational innovations. To achieve this goal, we analyzed a sample of42 teacher created lesson plans drawn from a larger sample of over 300 STEM related lessonplans. We found that the teachers communicated incomplete understanding of engineeringpractices and design, yet created plans that shared the responsibility for assignment decisionswith the students.
