classproduced the same result; MST grades for individual assignments were on par, or better, thanT/PrEE students. This result was counterintuitive because MST majors start the program withclearly weaker skills and lower comfort with laboratory tools. However, MST students tendnot to hesitate in asking for help in understanding a process. A T/PrEE student is often theone providing the help, which also benefits the T/PrEE students since he/she gatherseducational experiences in providing this help.In summary, MST students are not simply passing T&E courses but are actually performingon par or better than the TE students. This is a strong indication that MST students arelearning substantial T&E content. (iii) Technology Education PraxisTM

The first 3 levels were successively more complexanalytical problems. The 4th level was a lab report based on a moderately challengingopen-ended lab experiment, and the 5th level was an opportunity for the student to extend aconcept based on the content of the earlier lab experiment.
