for technology education that relate toengineering design as well as key skills that we believe are foundational for success in the studyof engineering. The focus is on transferable skills that will apply not only to any engineeringdiscipline but also to areas outside engineering. These core critical thinking skills are listedbelow. • The ability to work effectively in teams and communicate technical ideas both orally and in writing • The ability to solve open-ended problems • The ability to synthesize what is learned in science and mathematics courses and apply the knowledge to real world problems • The ability to think creatively with respect to the solution of an open-ended problem • The ability to describe
