Intent of Promoting Technological LiteracyIntroductionScience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teacher training and curriculumdevelopment are key components of President Obama’s STEM educational initiative. This studyoutlines one method that was used to address both these issues. In this study we sought toinvestigate a method of teacher and curriculum development focused on technology standardsdescribed in Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology.1Curriculum development is a key component of teacher training and teacher responsibilities.Often curriculum is developed around an activity or unit that a teacher wants their students toexperience and be part of. A new method of design has become

Many tenure-track professors in the UnitedStates are evaluated heavily on their research contributions to the university, but for otheruniversities, quality instruction is a top priority.What is quality instruction?

Although these waveforms can also be obtained by using MULTISIM or PLEXIMsimulation tools, but using MATLAB increases understanding of the circuit operation in steady state better. In thismethod, the power electronic converter circuit is first resolved into circuit modes (states) based on the specificationsand switching strategy employed. The inductor currents and capacitor voltages are used as objects with propertiesand methods

The key to getting students tothat tipping point, says lead author Adam Maltese, an assistant professor of science education atIndiana University, seems to be exposing them early to a STEM experience that sparks theirinterest, then providing them with a way to maintain it.”Students are enthusiastic about cool projects.

Crucially, we do not assume thatan ideological mode observed by a student or by a group will characterize the student or group ina different context.We note that mindsets and “the culture of disengagement” prevalent in engineering andengineering education are cultural constructions that have ideological character. The ideology-in-pieces theoretical framework provides us with theoretical and analytical tools for making senseof engineering students’ reasoning in ways that allow us to begin building a bridge fromstudents’ contextualized, often tacit ideological assumptions to the grand “mindsets” and
