  13. Power and Promise of Technology & Engineering It is impossible to imagine a life without technology and engineering. It is an education that can start at the earliest grade levels and continue through life. Imagine experiences to study the grandest skyscraper, personal transportation vehicles, microscopic medical devices, and more…

  14. Why are the T & E so important? The superiority of a country as a leader in technology is a desired quality. The ability of an educational system to produce individuals with the technological abilities is also a desired quality. No school subject unleashes the spirit of innovation like technology and engineering education. Students must be able to apply their knowledge to improve people’s lives in meaningful ways. Education should be the cornerstone in terms of helping students be creative problem solvers while helping to shape futures. Imagine an education based on thoughts that turn ideas into reality…

  15. Science Seeks to Understand the Natural World National Science Education Standards, National Research Council

  16. “Technology is the innovation, change, or modification of the natural environment in order to satisfy perceived human wants and needs.” International Technology and Engineering Educators Association

  17. Science vs. Technology • Deals with the natural world. • Is very concerned with what is(exists) in the natural world. (i.e.: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Geology, etc.) • Deals with how humans modify, change, alter, or control the natural world. • Is very concerned with what can or should be designed, made, or developed from natural world materials and substances to satisfy human needs and wants

  18. Science vs. TechnologyContinued • Is concerned with inquiries that seek out the meaning of the natural world by “inquiry,” “discovering what is,” “exploring,” and using “the Scientific Method.” • Is concerned with such processes that we use to alter/change the natural world such as “invention,” “innovation,” practical problem solving, and design.

  19. What is • Engineering • byDesign™?

  20. Young Children Activity Titles Invention: Students develop an idea for an invention by designing and construction a working model or prototype of a gadget. Communication: Students examine communication processes, design, and develop a commercial project promoting school spirit. Power and Energy: Students gain an understanding of wind energy as they construct a device that captures wind energy and converts it to electricity. Mechanical Toys: Students investigate two mechanical devices and design a toy that uses both to create movement.

  21. Selected Course Titles & Guides • Technological Issues and Impacts • Technological Design • Engineering Design Exploring Technology Invention and Innovation Foundations of Technology

  22. Specialized Sets of Title Courses Robotics Engineering & Automation Modeling and Simulation Science and Engineering
