educators haveserved the needs of the nation admirably for many years and the initial the focus onengineering sciences was salutary. For undergraduates, a less salutary andunintended consequence was the gradual marginalization of general design,planning and organizational skills as well as hands-on experimentation andinterpersonal skills. Some universities developed engineering technology programsin response to help address expressed needs of industry and many now have ABETaccreditation of programs’ rigor.Lewontin has pointed out that all sciences tend to be driven by dominant metaphors,which are used to connect and direct different areas and modes of inquiry [Lewontin,1963]. Many years of textbook problem solving is the paradigm of education in

Although the program incorporates the use of LEGOs, which is not a new idea,additional elements include team building exercises that introduce students to the complicatedaspects of working together.By demonstrating engineering and technology concepts using simple toys, the workshophopefully serves to interest students in engineering and technology careers they hadn’tpreviously considered.

This is not a big problem in technical subjects because the use of books doesn’t guarantee a successful exam.ConclusionsNowadays, we look for a solution that can provide our examination room with more security andeffectiveness as much as it is possible. An RFID system will be able to resolve many of thecurrent problems. It will reduce the time of waiting for accessing to the class and it will haveidentified all the students in real time.The next challenge is to make possible that a student can do an exam in his house9. In this casewe combine the RFID Technology with Biometric Technology. A student will be able to accessto his exam by web and by means of his RFID card and his biometric mouse.
