motivational hail, entitled, “A National Imperative,” introduced the Advocacy Tips to the WIED membership. The next time you’re having coffee with colleagues, ask them what they consider as the top areas of critical national importance, particularly when taken from the perspective of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). I’ll lay odds that you’ll hear many predictable responses from categories such as energy, sustainability, climate change, population, heath care, education and the like. I’ll also lay odds that few responses, if any, will relate to gender equality

Our discussion of the Black Widow led us to a discussion of engineering students in Indiawho are developing anti-rape undergarments which give attackers a 3,800 kv electric shock2,3.We talked about how society affects the need for technology and how technology affects society.Mnemonic devices:When we studied EPA’s hazardous waste laws, the students learn the four characteristic wastes:corrosive, toxic, ignitable and reactive.

, and mathematics are critical skills for our modern world. Inorder to understand this world, it is vital to foster engineering and technological literacy amongall people, starting with young children. Technology and engineering are new fields at theelementary school level; however, this is where such education needs to start. Just as it isimportant to begin science instruction in the primary grades by building on children’s curiosityabout the natural world, it is crucial to begin technology and engineering instruction inelementary school by fostering children’s natural inclination to design and build things, and totake things apart to see how they work.1 It is during primary school that students establish firstimpressions of possible career
