technologies arise quickly;competition comes from unexpected sources; economics and demographics drive change andcompetition; jobs are not secure. More than ever before, flexibility is necessary for individualprofessional survival; and, perhaps more important, the engineering profession overall faces newchallenges that have global impact.So it was with some interest and concern that in freshman writing classes I noticed that first yearstudents with a commitment to engineering were not aware of the new challenges. Manystudents with an interest in mechanical engineering intended to work for the auto industry; manyothers were influenced by the most obvious news emphases, so there was a superficial interest inall things green, including bio-fuels and

Furthermore, many interdisciplinaryprograms in engineering are more focused on developing knowledge and skills in multiplecomponent-level domains (e.g., mechatronics focuses on developing component level knowledgein electrical, mechanical, and computer domains) than in component-level and systems-levelareas.These observations serve as the basis for the Technology Leaders Program (TLP), a transportableinterdisciplinary program being developed at the University of the Blue Ridge and CentralCommunity College.

Consequently there is agrowing need to understand K-12 STEM teachers’ knowledge and beliefs, effectiveness andinstructional decision making3. Education research shows that instructional practice and teacherdecision making are influenced by teachers’ beliefs about learning and instruction4-8.Furthermore, the educational experience for students is dependent on the quality andeffectiveness of teachers, more than perhaps any other single alterable factor9-11.

The educational system further narrows theselection of students in engineering as most technologically rich courses are delivered in asequential manner with no active exercises or connection to the real world. This approach placeschildren who learn in global, sensing, visual, and active modes at a disadvantage and restrictsopportunities for diversity.

Several years ago, we received a request from a teacher who was participating in ourrobotics workshop that she wanted to teach engineering and robotics to her kindergartenstudents.
