One Day Course, July 8, 2010

Instructor:  Dawn Korade.  Technological Systems is intended to teach students how technological systems work together to solve problems and capture opportunities. A system can be as small as two components working together or can contain millions of interacting devices.

This course gives students a general background on the different types of systems but concentrates more on the connections between these systems.

Technology and Society - Accredited EbD Course

3 Day Course, July 7-9, 2010

Instructor:  Dan Caron.  Technology and Society (formerly Technological Issues and Impacts) is a newly revised EbD course that teaches students to think and act in better ways about the design, construction, use, and disposal of technologies in everyday life. As a workshop participant you will experience numerous activities, working through them just as your students will. This course will challenge you (and your students) to consider our past failures in the use of technology and to remediate those mistakes by thinking green, global, sustainable and ethical. This session will prepare you to prepare today’s students to make tomorrow’s decisions.
