Instructor: Dawn Korade. nvention and Innovation provides students with opportunities to apply the design process in the invention or innovation of a new product, process, or system. They will have opportunities to study the history of inventions and innovations, including their impacts on society. Teachers will receive an understanding of the backward design model, 5E lesson plan and the Engineering Design Process. Many hands-on activities as well as an overview of each unit will be covered.
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. Students realize that technology is becoming more integrated and systems are becoming more dependent upon each other than ever before. This course gives students a general background on the different types of systems but concentrates more on the connections between these systems.
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.
