They learn to puttheir research in a more general context and to explain their work to people who are notnecessarily in their field of study. A white female graduate fellow in engineering elaborates: RAMP-UP allows me to explore new worlds (quite literally when I attended the ASEE Global Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and exposes me to many real world perspectives. So often, graduate students become masters of some very obscure topic and are not trained to see the big picture. In graduate school, I am not only becoming a master of one topic (renewable energy) but through RAMP- UP I am

Warner was elected President of the AIAA, which in 1939 was “allied” with the NEA,and awarded affiliated NEA status in 19419.

infusing engineering concepts into technology education is just a fad that willpass, especially since the field of technology education has existed on its own since the early1800’s.Currently there exists at least three camps of thought regarding the infusion of engineeringrelated concepts into technology education: 1. Technology education should switch its entire focus to that of preparing a citizenry that is educated in a pre-engineering program similar to Project Lead the Way or a vocational- specific track for engineering; 2. Technology education should infuse engineering-related concepts into the existing technology education curriculum and courses as part of the general education of all citizens
