, ethics and values, and action/involvement—that can beapplied to many forms of literacy (Cheek, 1992). A later study (Gagel, 1997) definedtechnological literacy as being able to: “(a) accommodate and cope with rapid andcontinuous technological change, (b) generate creative and innovative solutions fortechnological problems, (c) act through technological knowledge both effectively andefficiently, and (d) assess technology and its involvement with the human lifeworldjudiciously.” Generally STS-derived definitions of technological literacy address the need toeducate individuals for living in a technologically mediated world and are system oriented,involve elements of the ethical and moral dimensions of society, and are both critical andintegrative

larger impacts with non-course basedproject based learning experiences. However due to the very fact they present opportunities toexplore concepts free from grading makes direct correlation with course based models a bit morechallenging and difficult. The assessment strategies must differ to capture skills learning not directlyfocused on final grade and thus as well only creates more challenges to correlation with course basedwork.REFERENCES1 C.H.

. Significantanticipated challenges have been described related to the prospect of teaching and assessing thisnew aspect of the science curriculum. Two of the primary challenges are that (a) few science andgeneral education teachers have the knowledge and skill to guide students in engaging in designactivities that integrate engineering and science and (b) assessments currently being used in theK-12 arena do not measure engineering design and cannot easily be adapted to do so. In thispaper, I describe research efforts to inform the development of assessments that engage studentsin a design process. The focus here is on the use of student engagement in a paper-based designactivity with the students’ design goal being to suggest improvements to a solar still such

in the way the question was posed. Group A consisting of 20 students wassimply asked to solve the pipe flow problem without any guidance as to how the solution shouldproceed. For Group B consisting of 18 students, the question was posed in two steps: the firstasked the students to solve algebraically for the unknown, and second asked the students tosubstitute in particular values along with their units to determine the solution. Forty percent ofGroup A had no units issues, while 44 percent of Group B had no units issues. There wasvirtually no difference in the average quiz score, with Group A averaging 7.7/10 and Group Baveraging 7.6/10. These results show a slight improvement in units treatment for those “forced”to follow the procedure, but

Rather than simply presenting the correct solution, time was spent reviewing the variousmistakes made before finally discussing the correct answer. Activities such these proved to bevery beneficial to student learning, as students were able to learn from their own mistakes andtheir classmates’ mistakes in real-time. Furthermore, such high-payoff activities required verylittle preparation time on the part of the instructor, but rather just a simple modification inapproach.

team-based projects. Given that research in studentlearning consistently shows that active learning and higher student participation leads to betterlearning outcomes [1][2], we have recently modified the course to increase student participationby requiring that students: a) do MATLAB reading and exercises in advance of the lecture time,b) utilize an in-class interaction system, c) use MATLAB on their laptops for in-class exercises,and d) attend programming labs. Given that ECE 102 does not deal with programming alone, wehave faced a problem of students passing the class without learning basic programming skills - acommon problem in any course in which students can collect partial credit. We are attempting toaddress this through pass/no-pass

To mitigate this, students are given a reference framework implementing more of thecomplex graphical components but with blank sections for students to complete. The framework for the C++ section of the course uses the Simple Fast Multimedia Library(http://www.sfml-dev.org) while the MATLAB section uses the built-in graphical user interfacemodule. These frameworks create a blank window, allow the user to control the mouse andkeyboard, and provide a graphical component to draw in (see Appendix A and B for examples).Note that students do not need to necessarily understand the framework to complete
