-level situations to graduate school modeling situations.Example 1: Toys as Tools in Elementary Settings to Demonstrate Engineering Concepts Where should engineering instruction start? Why not K-12? As Iowa State’s “Toyingwith Technology Program” reports, elementary school is an ideal place to introduce concepts ofengineering. Why? Because children are “natural engineers”: give them some materials andmany times, they start to build.(2) This interesting example is the partnership between IowaState’s Engineering Department and Education Department’s joint program named “Toying withTechnology”2. This program links engineering with elementary and secondary education majorswith the primary goal of reinforcing positive attitudes in the

Items such asplastics, golf clubs, and hip implants are explored. Students who elect to take this course comefrom a wide range of majors such as education, marketing, architecture, and history. Somestudents are also engineering majors, seeking unique perspectives on materials not oftendiscussed in a traditional materials courses. The course assessment indicated that some of thestudent in non-engineering majors did not see the connection of this course with their major.The conclusion was that the teaching

increase in the technological literacy of the liberalarts and humanities students who take the course.In this study, thirty randomly selected U.S. schools with accredited engineeringprograms were examined. Thirty-seven general education physics courses designedprimarily for non-science majors were found to have enrollments totaling 5,711students, in contrast with only four commonly taught engineering outreach courses,with enrollments totaling only 435 students. (Most of these students were enrolled intwo popular courses taught at Boise State University.) Ultimately, it appearsengineering schools could greatly expand their general education outreach by co-opting some of the techniques used by physics departments, as has been done at BoiseState and

The group work in thelaboratory and on the reports develops the ability to recognize and utilize different talents within ateam. Our experience is that high expectations for the laboratory reports, reinforced by detailedfeedback, allow students to learn how to utilize each other’s talents to maximum advantage.

”Level Two – Analytical TechniqueMost people make the (hopefully correct) assumption that colleges and universities impartknowledge to their paying customers. An aspect often overlooked, however, is that thisknowledge must be effectively applied if it is to be useful. Two subtleties appear in this exercisethat serve to emphasize this distinction to students. First, while the task of units conversion iscommon in most engineering technology classes, in this exercise students discover that conversionof viscosity units in one direction is significantly more difficult than it is in the other direction. Bydesign, both the first instruments used as well as the final temperature desired are presented interms of SUS units. Yet going in the US (lbf s/ft2

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and regionalaccreditation bodies place strong emphasis on the technical currency of faculty, and requireinstitutions to provide opportunities for faculty to keep abreast of technological advances.ABET’s new criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs, Technology Criteria 2000(TC2k), also emphasize the importance of faculty technical currency.
