known as science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) education. Our use of the term engineering and technology education(ETE) relates to these contemporary developments and characterizes ETE as important andvaluable for all students. Traditionally, curricula for engineering and technology education arestructured according to either engineering disciplines (e.g., mechanical engineering, electricalengineering, construction engineering) or application fields (e.g., transportation,communication). These structures do not offer much insight into the nature of engineering andtechnology. A better approach for developing insights is to search for basic concepts that arebroadly applicable in engineering and technology and cut through

Knowledge Management System (KMS) for theconstruction and engineering industries is a new and exciting area of study, and wikis are a formof electronic KMS. In the last few years there have been studies done on the use of KMS as itrelates to a construction or engineering company’s internal tacit knowledge capture,collaboration, and retention. But little has been researched in the use of these technologies in theeducation sector. If the construction industry is using these types of technologies as a part ofnormal operations, then construction academic programs should

Because the simulation of the environment is the most expensivepart of this class of development, a story-centered approach has been followed here, in whichonly part of the activities are represented in the module. This approach was originally proposedby R. C. Schank and has been adapted here for engineering education, in which formal modelingand calculations are part of the expected activities. Examples are used to illustrate theimplemented activities, which refer to learning about structural failures.

A recent survey of calculus requirements for engineering technology programs revealed significant variance among four-year programs on the amount of calculus required.25 A modification to TAC of ABET criteria could be used to establish minimum math and science requirements that constituents deem necessary in the practice of engineering careers.
