The stigma very often placed on themath and science classroom is that the content is difficult and uninteresting. By providingmultiple professional development sessions, constant communication with the engineeringprofessors, and peer review with other teachers within the program, teachers developed lessonplans that helped not just one, but all teachers interested in bringing engineering to life in theirclassrooms. When presenting math or science content at the middle and high school level, these initialexperiences could potentially be the catalyst to drive students toward a career in these essentialfields.

creator and creation does not provide an explanation for the view thattechnology itself is neutral, that morality is only apparent with use: a pen, for example, can beused for good (writing) or evil (a weapon). According to this argument, the artifact itself has noinherent value, and morality only emerges with use.In the 1960s, University of Toronto professor and media theorist Marshall McLuhan wrote agreat deal about the interaction of media and humans. For McLuhan, a “medium” is anything thattransmits information; a light bulb, for example, is a medium that transmits information in theform of light. “Media” and “technology” are synonymous.2McLuhan provides a convincing theoretical counter to the separation argument: all media, hedeclares, are

In this stage, the instructor may act as the facili-tator and the learners may assume a more participatory and moving-forward role in their ownlearning. To achieve this, the instructor should give opportunities to students to work togetherthrough group work or pair work.

Professions have rich and historically- rooted cultures that are built into and around their knowledge, skills, and practices. Professional cultures are the sets of beliefs, myths, and rituals that give meaning to the intellectual content and practices of a profession.
