The second question was, "Howsatisfied are you with the integration of entrepreneurship principles in enhancing yourunderstanding of sustainable building practices?" For this question, 57.14% of studentsreported being extremely satisfied or satisfied, and the remaining portion remained neutral. 5.

Is our goal simply to teachstudents how things work so that they can be passive employees or consumers in acapitalist economy? Or could the goal of technological literacy be broader and moreactive--that we want our students not only to understand the machine but to comprehendhow individuals, groups, and societies use

facets of technology education. Multimedia is currently being used in the classroom, bymany faculty, to improve the student’s comprehension of difficult material. Since multimedia is an effective toolin the classroom, then why not develop applications that will allow the student to effectively utilize this tooloutside the classroom, for educational purposes. The problem is how to find the development and distribution of such applications, not whether or notthey would serve as an effective aid to the overall learning process for students. Compared to the market size formost pi$rsonal computer software applications, the technology education market is an extremely small one.

Clearly, the level of mathematics in aspecific course is a topic that is far away from reaching a consensus not only between facultymembers with different academic and professional backgrounds but also among the studentsthemselves.As it was mentioned earlier, twice during the semester, the students were required to do researchon several satellite topics and present them to the rest of the class using different presentationtools and software.
