K-12 & Pre-College Engineering

EducationInfusing engineering-related concepts into K-12 level curriculum is a rather new initiative forpublic school teachers in the United States, especially those who teach technology education.Maurice Thomas, in a paper presented at the Mississippi Valley Technology Teacher EducationConference, stated that “Technology education has the opportunity to become a partner withengineering and benefit from their image, support, and political power. Many argue that we[technology education] would gain a great deal and lose little because engineering content fitscomfortably with technology education objectives and content.”1 Many technology teachers,however, wonder if this new initiative is viable for the future of the technology educationprofession, or that

encouragingbonds between Universities and Industry: • Traditional funding for education from the government has decreased, or at best has fluctuated, over the past few years. Because of this, universities are looking for alternative ways to maintain research and development programs, laboratories, and even faculty so that they might attract the best and brightest students and retain the students that they currently have. Also, ways to stretch current budgets without diminishing the quality of the education must be explored. • Industry realizes that the universities are essential for training the workforce that they will someday employ. It is therefore essential that the education that they receive be
