“…Students in U.S. elementary and secondary classrooms often have not been exposed to engineering which may in turn contribute to the development of engineering misconceptions. 4 Many people do not understand the breadth of opportunities available in engineering. For example, certain engineering fields are not very wellknown, such as materials engineering and industrial engineering.…”

“…Günümüzde toplumların mühendislik ve teknolojiye olan bağımlılıkları son derece artmıştır. Bu nedenle toplumu oluşturan her bireyin, mühendislerin ne yaptıklarını, mühendislerin geliştirdikleri teknolojilerin nasıl kullanıldığını ve hayatımızı nasıl etkilediklerini anlaması önemlidir (Pearson, 2004). Öğrencilerin, mühendislerin hangi alanlarda ne gibi işler yaptıklarını, mühendisliğin tasarım boyutunu, mühendislik ile bilim, teknoloji ve matematik arasındaki ilişkiyi diğer bir deyişle mühendisliğin doğasını doğru olarak anlamaları, STEM eğitiminin hedefine ulaşması açısından önemlidir.…”

One of the purposes of STEM education is to create awareness in the students about different engineering careers and guide them towards these careers. The aim of this study was to identify the knowledge levels of middle-school students on environmental engineering (EEKL) and to compare their knowledge level with the grade and gender variables. The sample of the study which was carried out in the 2017-2018 academic year consists of 335 students who were receiving education at public middle-school in the located in Demirci district of the city of Manisa. The descriptive survey model was used in the study with the purpose of identifying the existing EEKL of the students in the sample of the study without giving them any training or carrying out any applications. The "Environmental Engineering Knowledge Test", which consisted of three factors, and whose adaptation into Turkish and validity and reliability studies conducted by the authors was used as a data collection tool. In the research, the rules stated in the directives of higher education institutions scientific research and publication ethics were followed. In the analysis of the data, the independent groups t-test, one way variance analysis (ANOVA) were used. As a result of the study, it was determined that the students had middle level knowledge on environmental engineering and that there was a significant difference between the knowledge level of female and male students in the favor of the female students. It was found that as the grade level increased, EEKL increased and that there was a significant difference between the knowledge level of fifth grade students and the other grades. It was found that the effect of gender on EEKL was small and the effect of grade level on EEKL was medium. In the light of the obtained findings, it is suggested to give place to science, engineering and entrepreneurship applications about environmental engineering at early ages at school and environments outside schools.

“…The push for disciplinary content standards provided the context for the International Technology Education Association (ITEA; now the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association) to publish the Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology (ITEA 2007), which was first published in 2000, and clearly define the discipline of technology education as well as outline the characteristics of a technologically literate individual. ITEA, as well as other advocates including the National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council, agree that technological literacy is important for all people (Pearson & Young, 2002;Pearson, 2004;Garmire & Pearson, 2006;Daugherty, 2008;Terry, 2008). Although pre-engineering programs are considered a specialized career and technical education (CTE) program, they do have an impact on technology education programs that focus on technological literacy for all (Blais & Adelson, 1998).…”

This study compared high school student's perceptions of technology and technological literacy to those perceptions of the general public. Additionally, individual student groups were compared statistically to determine significant differences between the groups. The ITEA/Gallup Poll instrument was used to survey high school student's perceptions of technology in the study. The student population in question consisted of three subgroups: students enrolled in a standards-based technology education courses, students enrolled in a Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Principles of Engineering pre-engineering course, and students enrolled in a general education course (language arts, mathematics, or science). In addition, each student group's perceptions of technology were compared to one another to determine differences within each group. Responses from 4 items in the ITEA/Gallup Poll showed descriptive differences between students and adults, and responses from 13 items showed a significant difference between the three student groups. Of those 13 items showing a significant difference between all three groups, 7 of the 13 items showed a significant difference between technology education and PLTW respondents, 6 of the 13 items showed a significant difference between PLTW and general education respondents, and 8 of the 13 items showed a significant difference between technology education and general education group respondents.
