Info

You are encouraged to contribute to the Conference by sharing your experience through a paper or workshop presentation. The Organising Committee is keen to see a range of presentations, and information about submission is now available at www.tenz.org.nz/2009/presentation. November 11-13, 2009 ICTE 2009 (International Conference on Technology Education in the Asia-Pacific Region) will hold its fall conference, “Less is More, Searching Solutions to Facilitate Technology Education with Limited Resources,” in Taipei, Taiwan. The organizing committee has issued a call for papers and invites submission of papers on any topics relating to technology education. ICTE is a biennial conference in which the most representative technology associations/societies in seven countries in the Asia-Pacific Rim participate. Deadline for submission of papers is June 1, 2009. The conference website is www.ite.ntnu.edu.tw./~icte2009/. Email Dr. Chi-Cheng Chang at samchang@ntnu.edu.tw for additional information. List your State/Province Association Conference in TTT and Inside TIDE (ITEA’s electronic newsletter).

G L O BA L O N L I N E CALU This 100% online program will enhance your ability to prepare your students with a conceptual understanding of technology and its place in society: • Dedicated, world-class faculty • Asynchronous program with flexible learning • No residency requirement • Competitive tuition • 31 credits The National Academy of Engineering developed an action plan to address the “technology” and “education” components of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) with representatives from business, government and education to address growing employment demands. Strengthen the “T&E” pipeline to address the looming shortage of talent prepared to enter these careers. Prepare your students by being the best. 4 • The Technology Teacher • April 2009
Using Engineering Cases in T echnology Education By Todd R. Kelley Engineering students who only practice engineering problems often have a false sense of security that engineering problems are crisp and narrow analytical problems. Introduction There has been a great deal of discussion in the past few years about implementing engineering design in K-12 classrooms. Experts from K-12 education, universities, industry, and government officials attended the ASEE leadership workshop on K-12 Engineering Outreach in June of 2004 and came to a consensus on the need to implement engineering in K-12 schools (Douglas, Iversen, & Kalyandurg, 2004). Many leaders in the field of technology education believe that developing technological literacy in students can be best delivered by teaching engineering design (Wicklein, 2006, Lewis, 2005, Dearing & Daugherty, 2004). The use of the engineering design process is stressed throughout Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology (ITEA, 2000/2002/2007), especially Standards 8 through 13. While there may be strong support for teaching engineering concepts to K-12 students, how this knowledge is properly delivered to high school students is still a debatable topic. This article seeks to consider engineering case studies as a logical way to teach the engineering design process to students not commonly familiar with it. Arguments have been made against assigning students to full-scale engineering design problems when they are new to engineering. Often novice engineering students lack the analytical tools necessary for successful development of design solutions to full-sale engineering problems (Petroski, 1998, Dym, 1994). Introducing engineering design to K-12 students through the employment of design case studies is a logical solution. Henry Petroski (1996) documents a number of historical design cases that highlight the design evolution of everyday items such as the standard GEM paperclip. Design Case Studies Defined Although design case studies have been used in engineering schools since the late 1960s, the term may be new to those in the field of technology education. Design case studies have a variety of definitions, depending on the source. The 5 • The Technology Teacher • April 2009
