introduced Bedroom Design, anengineering technology education (ETE) curriculum for middle school, and examined its impacton student learning of mathematics. The curriculum uses an “informed design” approach1, 2 toinfuse grade-related disciplinary mathematical concepts into ETE instruction. Designed to betaught as a five-week unit, it features a hybrid instructional model that employs computersimulation as well as physical modeling. Fifteen teachers in New York State and 20 teachersnationally implemented the curriculum, and gains in student mathematical learning and attitudeswere studied using pre and post curriculum assessments.BackgroundThe transition into the 21st century has seen a greater emphasis on student proficiencies inscience, technology

Technology acceptance has been widely studied and modeled by informationsystems researchers. The most widely used model in educational settings is the TechnologyAcceptance Model (TAM) [1] and its revision, the TAM2 [2].These models are general, however,and not specific to engineering faculty.
