University Mel Chua is a contagiously enthusiastic hacker, writer, and educator with over a decade of teaching and curriculum development experience and a track record of leadership in Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities. Raised Catholic, she deliberately walked away from organized religion at the same time she commenced formal technical studies – only to discover in graduate school that her 12-year attempt at agnosticism had been a sort of spiritual training of its own. Mel is now an active practitioner of both Catholicism and Computer Engineering.Cole H Joslyn, Purdue University Cole Joslyn is a doctoral student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University.

Engineers andscientists have always learned and tried to tackle new challenges or to find solutions of theproblems. However, the unprecedented availability of tools, computers and equipment to doalmost everything does, however, suggest that engineering educators must rethink how studentsare prepared and educated in their disciplines. Computer programs and software packages to dovirtually anything, from simple calculations, to simulating complex systems, to design acomplete engineered system, are empowering the engineers and students, alike to do more thanhis or her

sustainable economic growth. It is muchmore than how to use this or that machine, tool, or software. As such, Technology Educationdoes not focus on the specific skills of career preparation. Technological literacy is essential forall Americans, regardless of the careers, professions, and majors they select1. Up until now, therole of Technology Education within Career and Technology Education has been ill-defined andmisunderstood by school administrators, parents, students, higher education institutions, and theteachers themselves. As a result, instructional activities in the technology classroom typically,(1) focus on hands-on activities related to tools and materials, (2) do not integrate or support thecore academic subjects, and (3) do not use
