The next year, he and climbing partnerAndrew “Sandy” Irvine walked into the clouds of Mount Everest and vanished for 75 years: hisremains were discovered in 1999, sans evidence that he had reached the summit, and Irvine hasyet to be located. Despite their highly publicized demise, Mallory and Irvine’s heroic efforts didlittle to
to define an alternate form of engineering curriculum that was groundedin practice, not theory.Supporters of engineering technology education used the ASEE as a platform to gain legitimacyfor their degree programs and create avenues for accreditation. They grounded their argumentsfor inclusion on the basis of fairness, equivalency, and the need to set standards. Over time, theirarguments proved successful, and engineering technology achieved institutional legitimacy, mostnotably through an accreditation process virtually identical to that for conventional engineeringprograms. At the same time, the need for institutional legitimacy also pushed engineeringtechnology programs to become more like those in conventional engineering in terms
activitiesdeveloped to teach nanotechnology concepts to upper level students. The activities not only provide aninexpensive, tactile approach to understanding nanoscience concepts but also include aspects of practicalapplications, correlation to traditional science and engineering disciplines and avenues for criticalthinking and problem based learning. Each topical activity has several versions that allow tailoring of theactivity and content to the education level of the students. Many of these modules have been used forseveral years in high school and college classes with positive results and improvement in studentunderstanding and interest in science.Introduction:The Advanced Technology Education (ATE) Program within the National Science Foundation

these research studies are currently being applied.Cooperative learning processes, multi-media (MM) educational tools and educationalprograms using WWW are the primary areas of development efforts.Today, various academics are attempting to use the WWW as a teaching delivery tool.Efforts are also being made to integrate other new technologies and teaching methods.The use of multi-media and cooperative leaning, and the joining of the WWW and MMapplications are examples of these combinations.An Arizona State University undergraduate estimating course, in the Del E. Webb Schoolof Construction (DEWSC), uses the WWW as a instrument to support knowledgetransfer. This paper discusses the DEWSC effort into using the WWW to improve thequality and
development experienced beyond the confines of the curriculum.Skills such as planning, applying technology, evaluating, and accepting professional responsibility - skillswelcomed by employers - have been presented using the open forum of a pontfolio. Observations based on experiences with individual portfolios in engineering education have relevance 1when applied to the institutional design portfolio model. For example, Bramhall points out that though anoriginal goal of using portfolios was to document development, the portfolios often concentrated onachievement and potential. Such concentrations detracted from the portfolio’s ability to develop theindividuals
