theinterviews, which we categorized as student-technology interactions. We are reconsidering theanalysis of interviews because of the wealth of information provided by teachers about computertechnology use and implementation (see information technology skills level of awareness). Thisanalysis will hopefully provide a different perspective on the effectiveness of teachers’ use ofcomputer and Internet-based technology in their classrooms. Specifically, there is preliminaryevidence that shows teachers’ use of computers as passive, productive, or as communicationtools to help students learn in the classroom (see below).

So if [Teammate B] and I aren’t too good at cutting or we can’t build a certain thing, I feel like that’s what [Teammate C] was useful for.

This analysis revealed four factors defined as: 1) theimportance of DET; 2) teachers’ familiarity with DET; 3) teachers’ perceptions of stereotypicalcharacteristics of engineers; and 4) teachers’ perceptions of characteristics of engineers. Theinternal consistency reliability estimate for the survey was 0.88. The analysis of 98 teachers’responses to these items indicated that: a) the importance of DET in the curriculum was strongerfor female teachers as compared to male teachers, t ( 96) = 2.42, p < 0.05; b) elementary schoolteachers were least likely to teach DET in their curriculum as compared to middle school andhigh school teachers, F (2, 28.81) = 4.35, p < 0.05; and c) DET was more likely to

From examiningapproximately 40-50 NSE classroom lessons, we narrowed the list down to approximately sixthat we felt could address broad science concepts important to NSE and we designed our initialworkshops around these lessons. An additional consideration was that the lesson did not requireexpensive equipment, could be done

Have them write the definitions in their notebooks b. Have them discuss with their partners examples of engineers in the real world.Although this short discussion does not dive very deeply into the content of the CEE indicator, itdoes at least provide an introduction upon which future lessons and discussions could be built.Another approach to addressing this indicator came in the form of bringing in a guest speaker totalk to the students about the work that he or she does. Putting a human face on an engineer andgiving the students a chance to hear
