a career in engineering and technology can genuinely be exciting and neat. Theperception is that it is too difficult a career path and the students are quite afraid of math andscience. The National reports support this impression as US students in k-12 level currently lagbehind their peers in other countries in math and science achievment5. The on-going decline infreshman engineering and technology enrollments since mid-1985’s provides an additionalsupport 2. On the top of it there is a declining pool of high school graduates in some states. The Page 8.564.2 “Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual

The design of the plant included a powerhouse 700 feetunderground and a six-mile long tailrace tunnel system, in addition to the proposed raising of Lake Manapouri by100 feet.4 This analysis reviews the technological, environmental, and economic issues that have arisen in thesiting, construction, and operation of the original plant and during the recently completed expansion of the tailracecapacity. The impacts of the deregulation of New Zealand’s electricity market and the availability of power fromalternative hydro sources are also considered in an overall benefit-cost assessment of the Manapouri project.Evidence is drawn from government records and interviews

A useful tool to help people further understand themselves and others isthe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. The Myers-Briggs type indicator test was designed by Isabel Myers-Briggs and KatherineBriggs in the 1920’s. The test is based on Carl Jung’s psychological types. The general aim oftype theory involves self, others, and self-development. The first aim of type theory is “toprovide an economical summary of central aspects of personality, one which increases self-understanding and implies certain ways of behaving more than others8.” The second aim is tohelp individuals

The RCXbrick is based on the Hitachi H8/3292 microprocessor and includes three output ports thatcan be used to control motors and three input ports that can be used to receive data from avariety of sensors, including touch sensors and light sensors. The data scanner uses theRCX's light sensor(s) to read data encoded in a series of stripes on a piece of paper 8.5inches wide. This data is encoded using a bi-phase modulation code and a Huffmancompression code (that is explained in class). The project is carried out using the "Not-Quite-C" (NQC) programming

Presenting design inthe context of Bloom’s Taxonomy may also enable students to recognize that they alreadypossess much of the prerequisite skill and knowledge to be successful designers. Once thestudents gain such confidence it is possible that they can begin to focus on acquiring the toolsrequired to perform engineering design. In essence the students are afforded the opportunity toput their ideas and experiences into new products or processes.The Engineering Design ProcessSince the late 1950’s and Sputnik engineering design has taken a back seat to scientific andanalytical research.
