127created a chasm between this view and the opinions oftwentieth century scientists. According to the olderconcept one can determine from the natural events whichoccur today what happened in the past or predict whatwill occur in the future. For example, about one hundredyears before Planck began his work, Immanuel Kant, whoof course is best known for his philosophical works,wrote a number of treaties on scientific subjects. Inone of these he posited a nebular hypothesis for theorigin of the universe, reasoning from the conditionsthat were known in his day. In another paper he discussedthe effect of tides on the rotation of the earth, con-cluding, on the basis of mathematical calculations, thatthey should have a braking effect on the earth's
thing or process, and then improve on their designs. Field testactivities and events were evaluated by event participants, facilitators, and experts ineducation and engineering. The results have shown that most of the activities that weredeveloped are fun and engaging and that children and their parents experienced significantincreases in their interest in and awareness of engineering in their everyday lives as a resultof the program. Parents also reported an increase in their willingness to consider engineeringas a possible career option for their children.IntroductionThe demand for scientists and engineers is growing steadily, but the US is unable tomeet that demand. The resulting shortage of technically skilled employees threatensnational
