Integrating Historical Technologies And Their Impact On Society Into Today's Engineering Curriculum

Abstract

He obtained his B.S. in Manufacturing Technology and M.Ed. in Adult Education in a specially combined program of Technology and Education at Eastern Washington University. His interests include collecting and re-manufacturing older technologies.

Using Multiple Methods to Promote Technological Literacy

“…To help with the classroom delivery of these newly created and collected technological items, a number of old audio-visual (AV) carts were acquired from the University's Surplus Equipment Facility, cleaned, and decorated. The term "Educational Delivery Vehicle" or "EDV" (Loendorf & Geyer 14 , 2009) was devised to help convey the purpose of the AV carts. Since classrooms are scheduled centrally, a means to transport the artifacts to various classrooms was needed; no instructor is assigned a permanent classroom.…”
