by Wicklein, the primary reasons are “inadequateunderstanding by school administrators and counselors concerning technology education,inadequate understanding by the general populace concerning technology education, and lackof consensus of curriculum content for technology education”1. These concerns were ranked #2, # 3, and # 4 in a research finding among technology educators2. Likewise, in a recent surveyamong prospective employers, 30% of 250 respondents did not have any awareness about theengineering technology program and one-third of those who claimed to have awareness aboutthe program could not distinguish the difference between the work performed by the engineersto the work performed by the engineering technologist accurately3.

The curriculum is akin to those previouslyexamined, which initially cover superposition, qubits, measurement, and entanglement.Discussions revealed that students faced difficulties particularly with topics closely linked toquantum mechanics, such as the Stern-Gerlach apparatus and beam splitters. Our curriculumspecifically addresses this challenge by dedicating several consecutive days to intensive quantummechanics lessons prior to the

Thiswas in contrast to the survey results from Fluid Mechanics, a traditional engineering core course,with a highly analytic, mathematical approach. Exit surveys of students in Fluid Mechanic reveala negative shift in affect toward fluids, which is typical of other technical courses and theircontent areas.More specifically, the responses from Flow Vis students can be termed an “expansion ofperception” – when learners see everyday objects, events, or issues through the lens of thecontent2.
