accessibility.In some engineering and technology-related programs, the use of visualization in a web-basedenvironment has the potential for bringing workforce practices to students. More importantly,web-based environments allow visualizations to be interactive, and a variety of concepts can betaught over any distance. Technical instruction does not have to be purely facilitative;instruction can be effectively designed to be interactive and to provide students with control overtheir learning process. Effective web-based instruction involves a synthesis of cognitive theory,instructional technology, understanding student needs, and understanding the distance educationtechnology available.Unfortunately, with web-enhanced technical education, educators often

In the end, we felt thatthe themes were well represented by the narrative and that we did not need to construct a fourthpersona. Taylor Taylor is 21 years old. Although he delayed college for two years after graduating from high school, he is now a full-time student living in an off-campus apartment with some friends. While Taylor earns money to pay for most of his school expenses through part-time jobs and scholarships, his parents help out by paying for his food and incidentals. During middle school, Taylor began telling people that he wanted to become an electrical engineer based on his early interest in computers and programming. After taking

For almost a century, the United States has made political,academic, and professional pushes to fill a decreasing STEM workforce.

The currentlandscape needs a social justice frame of reference to examine equal access to CE educationalinvestments, engaging underserved communities, and placing candidates in living wage jobs. CEeducation intersects workforce, industry, and education, so exploring their motivations givesinsight into common goals and how to promote collaboration.Similarly, reviewing organizational change theories suggests how to enact progress in CEeducation pathways.
