One group specifically researched the manufacturing locations for all materials includedin their design (i.e. cement, water, rock, sand, recycled concrete aggregate, etc…) and was ableto determine CO2 emissions for their mixtures based on emissions from material manufacturingand transport.Design Project GradesProject grades ranged from a class high of 93% to a low of 88%. Table 1 shows the scores givenfor each Part I-IV of the project. The two lowest scoring areas were Part II – QuantifyingSustainability and Part IV – Final Report/Presentation.Table 1

Studentteams would come up with ideas for new products, design and prototype a concept,develop a bill of materials and manufacturing plan, and prepare a financial analysis, amarketing strategy, and a business plan. Each team’s final presentation for the coursewould be a briefing to a group of venture capitalists – appealing for funding for their newcompany. Each team was also expected to submit a disclosure document or provisionalpatent to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I assumed responsibility for this coursein 1998. Since then, the

Some of the comments students provided include: ‚ “The most important thing I learned was how to integrate teaching principles with technology. At first, I thought we would only learn the technology available, but I absolutely loved how we discussed how to design a lesson plan and to be more attentive to student needs.” ‚ “I now know how to be a better teacher and how to disseminate information to students so that they can learn better and also how to assess their progress.”Overall the course was very well received

courses.Conceptual Framework The technology literacy curriculum needs to be firmly founded in the context ofthe student. Every student is alive, and has an interest in sustaining life. This notion iseloquently stated in John Dewey's famous pedagogical declaration. It was published inThe School Journal, Volume LIV, Number 3 (January 16, 1897), pages 77-80. He states: I believe that all education proceeds by the participation of the individual in the social consciousness of the race. This process begins unconsciously almost at birth, and is continually shaping the individual's powers, saturating his consciousness, forming his habits, training his ideas, and arousing his feelings and emotions. Through this
