, there is a slightly lesser focus on some of thetechnologies with more required outside reading. Use of information literacy building skills across the curriculumhave allowed this shift to more student-driven information finding and assimilation about the technologies and hasallowed for the inclusion of sustainability topics. The same sustainability topics from the original elective courseare included in their entirety. The most integration of sustainability with traditional design has been in the two projects done in the newversion of the course. In the first project, students do two complete designs of a small-size process, for instanceliquid oxygen creation from oxygen gas, where they shift refrigerants to explore economic costs as

factors, the healthcare industry appears to have begun usingDES to improve its services and care.The authors have taught with and used DES software, Arena® and ProModel, in processanalyses over the past decade and were intrigued by the usage of DES software especially in thehealthcare field. Using healthcare problems that have been analyzed using DES software wouldgive students exposure to realistic situations which they may actually experience (e.g., waiting tobe seen in an emergency room).This concept has application, especially in engineering and technology education, through beingable to use real life examples in teaching DES concepts and software. This would give students abetter appreciation of the use of DES software in analyzing processes

Thispaper briefs an exploration on the concepts of social network analysis and their ability to shedlight on the impacts of incorporating social network platforms in educational settings. In thispaper we try to analyze the information flow based on undergraduate and graduate student onlineinteraction patterns.

Starting from the premise that “Science as inquiry is parallel totechnology as design” (National Research Council, 1996, P.24) The National Science EducationStandards call for the integration of the two types of activities. A similar point is made inTechnology for All Americans, an effort to develop standards for technology education: “Tomeet the challenges of our technological world, individuals and society must achieve a basiclevel of ...technological competence [which] goes beyond understanding to include the ability tocreate, use, manage and assess technology.” (International Technology Education Association,1995, P.9).Several common themes emerge from these standards, as well

They range from the development of disruptive technologies that change the way a service is being delivered, for example by telephone and the Internet, to the synergies of technologies, such as the bar code and the computer. There are also synergies of technology and new business needs or opportunities, as in the case of e-commerce, and synergies of technologies and social trends, as in the combination of information technology and entertainment. There is also an urgent quest for technologies to enhance security. Emergencies are a powerful factor of technological change and show how rapidly the demand for new technology can arise
