active role in helping our students understand these points without taking the fun out of learning. An arduous task though it may be, simple, straightforward, creative, and most importantly, realistic ideas can be incorporated into the technology classroom. Placing oneself in the shoes of a student and thinking the same way he or she would, ideas can be attained and goals accomplished. In an effort to further real-world examples into the classroom, try to incorporate real-world professionals from time to time. Whenever knowledgeable people describe their jobs, students pay special attention and are given a way to relate what they have learned. Invite experts to your classroom whenever possible. There are many ways in which students learn, and our job as educators is to challenge our students in ways that make them want to learn. Take time with your students to listen to what they have to say; if we’re not careful, we may find ourselves becoming the students. Class projects Teaching aids Homework Pythagorean Theorem Reading a ruler 2x4s with different measurement points 2x4s marked like a ruler in different fractions Have the students measure things around their house Measure different items to the smallest fraction of an inch A B C X Y Z Conclusion Real-life demonstrations and experiences with math and science principles are best learned in a technology education setting. Students will both learn and retain the concepts through applying them in a practical setting. Technology teachers should be satisfied that they can facilitate complex concept learning by students through regular curricula. The laboratory setting should be looked upon as a critical learning area in which sound math and science concepts and principles are brought to life.

You are invited to explore the power and promise of a STEM education! The Overlooked STEM Imperatives: Technology and Engineering, K–12 Education Take this opportunity to gain a better understanding of the need for STEM education and its critical role in creating a technologically literate society. The rationale for the “T” and “E” has been specifically addressed in order to gain support for these subjects as part of the overall STEM effort. Chapters cover the following topics: • Background and History of the STEM Movement • The Power and Promise of a STEM Education: Thriving in a Complex Technological World • The “T” and “E” in STEM • The Contributions of Science and Mathematics to STEM Education: A View from Beyond the Disciplines of Technology and Engineering • Technology and Engineering Program in Action • Basic Resources in Support of STEM Education • A Call to Action This publication addresses the point that the superiority of a country as a leader in technology is a desired quality and that the ability of an educational system to produce individuals with these abilities is also a desired quality. Providing support for a meaningful STEM education is critical in order to perpetuate a thriving society, contribute in a meaningful way towards building our own future, and provide students with a need to achieve. Viewpoints are given by leaders in the field, including • Gerhard Salinger, National Science Foundation • Karen Zuga, The Ohio State University • William Havice, Clemson University • Michael K. Daugherty, University of Arkansas • Sharon Brusic, Millersville University of Pennsylvania • William F. McComas and Kim K. McComas, University of Arkansas • Kendall N. Starkweather, DTE, International Technology and Engineering Educators Association • Krista Jones, Bellevue Elementary School, Bellevue, ID • Brian Lien, Princeton High School, Cincinnati, OH • Lemuel “Chip” Miller, DTE, Cody High School, Cody, WY • Marlene C. Scott, J. B. Watkins Elementary School, Chesterfield, VA • Gary Wynn, DTE, Greenfield-Central High School, Greenfield, IN • Tom Zerr, Pittsburg Community Middle School, Pittsburg, KS You are invited to explore the power and promise of a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education through this publication, but more importantly, to seek to understand the importance of ensuring that the “T” and “E” are equal partners within STEM to adequately prepare the next generation workforce as well as valued contributors to our communities and society.
