However, differences were found in “hands-on” preparation and family background.IntroductionSince the early 1990’s the “pipeline theory” has been accepted as the dominant conceptualframework to describe the relationship between education and occupation

They spend the next several weeksindividually recreating their part(s) within a solid modelling software package. Assessment of astudent’s 3D results is based on a combination of visual comparison of the computer versionrelative to the actual part coupled with a comparison of the computer calculated mass (requiresthe students to correctly identify the material of their part) with the actual mass of the part. Thefinal grade assigned does factor in an assessment of the degree of difficulty to recognize thevariability in the student’s assigned parts. High quality work is also rewarded through

As a result, the last half-century of engineers have been highly technicallytrained, but generally lack the skills often associated with other successful professionals, such as

Technology education is often misunderstood – it has undergone a significanttransformation since the mid-1980’s. At the core of this transformation is a transitionfrom education associated with the industrial arts to education associated withtechnological literacy and engineering education in K-12 schools. This transformation ishardly complete, in part, because of stereotypical attitudes held by many.

A sample course schedule can be seen in the syllabuslocated in the Appendix. The course begins with the discussion of what ethics is in the narrowscope of the American “baseball, apple pie and mom” mentality and deals with issues that arerelatively straightforward. This approach addresses ethics from a fundamental moral standpointand uses case studies surrounding issues such as Ford Pinto’s exploding gas tank of the late1970’s and the space shuttle

As discussedabove, there has been a renewed emphasis in the U.S. on space exploration, and companies whoare developing the technologies necessary for new space exploration will need engineers trainedin astronautics. There is also continued growth in the area of space utilization fortelecommunications, imaging, weather forecasting, and other fields, and the companies andmanufacturers involved in these areas, such as the design and construction of earth satellites,need engineers trained in astronautics.

idea of possible selvesand identity play to examine this process.Interactive Response and InteractionsFrom our early observations of the students’ use of the portfolios, we could see that identitywork and play occur in a variety of contexts, mediated by individual reflections as well as theresponses and interactions of other individuals. These observations informed our categorizationof “Interactive Response” (IR) as a site of learning mediated by diverse interactions with bothpeople (instructors, peers, friends/family, clients) and symbolic artifacts (e.g., professional codesof ethics). In this conception of IR, we pick up on Hattie and Timperley’s broader notion offeedback as provided by multiple “agent[s]”[8] in response to a particular
