GOALS

The ultimate goal of the center is to rethink the pedagodgy of Technology Education programs to include more engineering content and design, problem solving, and analytical skills and to implement those changes in technology teacher education programs around the United States. This will be accomplished through the teaming of engineering and technology education faculty at NCETE sites in a three pronged approach:

  • Graduate student fellowships will create educational leaders engaged in technology teacher preparation and professional development with the skills required to integrate engineering and technology education.


  • Research on how students learn technological concepts, problem solving and how technology teachers can best be prepared for teaching engineering concepts and how such programs can be evaluated will be conducted


  • Professional development for 9-12 grade teachers will be conducted and will focus on instructions techniques that support the science, technology, engineering and mathematics ( STEM ) initiative.
