What is Engineering byDesign™
What is the EbD™ Network?
What is eTIDEonline?
Where can I find the EbD™ Resources?
What are the 9 Defining Features of Standards-based Programs that deliver Technological Literacy
How can I get this going in South Carolina?
International Technology Education Association

3. We Have a Very Tough Job!
Currently there is not a standard curricula being implemented nationwide
Supervisors find that teachers (generally) are teaching only to their expertise – not the curriculum
Can we tell Boards of Education if students are becoming technologically literate?
Can we explain the value-added to the business and academic community?
International Technology Education Association

4. So Where Do WE Start ??!
We must standardize what is taught and maintain teacher flexibility
Districts are provided quality, ongoing Professional Development
Assess a student’s ability to be technologically literate, and to
Use the assessments to inform instruction and increase student achievement in STEM

7. Do We Teach engineering or Engineering?
engineering – little “e” – used as a verb
to teach all students to think or learn to engineer or use engineering concepts
Engineering – big “E” – used as a noun
prepare students to be Engineers – career oriented

Understanding the effects of technology on the environment 4 8 9 21 6 19 13 11 A
Some materials can be reused and/or recycled. B
Waste must be appropriately recycled or disposed of to prevent unnecessary harm to the environment. F
Decisions to develop and use technologies often put environmental and economic concerns in direct competition with one another. 3 2 G
Humans can devise technologies to conserve water, soil, and energy through such techniques as reusing, reducing and recycling. H
When new technologies are developed to reduce the use of resources, considerations of trade-offs are important. I
With the aid of technology, various aspects of the environment can be monitored to provide information for decision-making.
9/S21/L 33/J L
Decisions regarding the implementation of technologies involve the weighing of trade-offs between predicted positive and negative effects on the environment.
