In particular, one of the expected outcomes for all our laboratorycourses is for the students to be able to effectively communicate the objective, the designprocedure, the experimental results, and the conclusion for a particular laboratory assignment(junior level) or electronic circuit/system design project (senior level).Current Laboratory Writing AssignmentsDifferent types of writing assignments are used in the final two laboratory classes in ourprogram.

In addition,the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) reports major skill gaps in the US.The 2013 ASTD report states that US organizations spent ~$164.2 billion on employee learningin 20122. The US is facing an alarming high replacement need for STEM professionals3, 4. Forinstance, the projected replacement rate in mathematical science is 29.5%, in physics it is 28.5%,in mechanical engineering it is 26%, and in electrical engineering it is 23%.

The overall aim of the project is to extend the knowledge about how teachers planand carry out their teaching in accordance with the technology syllabus. Special attention ispaid to how the teaching strategies of technology have been influenced by methodstraditionally used in science studies (excursions, laboratory exercises, etc.) and crafts (designand making activities, with a strong emphasis on the “making” part) and to what extent atradition concerning technology in itself been established.The specific research questions for this study are

It is importantto point out that at the times when these encounters took place, Michael had not yet begunworking on the research project described above [12]. In other words, the encounters took place innatural settings and were not influenced or prompted by the goals and purposes of this study.As described above, the purpose of embarking on this exploratory study was to examine howstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse influence, or “shape and reflect” [12],communications at an institutional level.
