The Future of Industrial Technology Education at the K-12 Level

Journal of Industrial Teacher Education

Scott Hansen and Carl J. Reynolds

For the greater part of the 20th century, industrial education was deemed successful; and its enrollment steadily increased (Barlow, 1967). Schools offered a wide variety of classes under the titles of industrial education, industrial technology education (ITE), and technology education. The label ITE was used in this study as an umbrella term for both technology education programs and the traditional subjects (e.g., woods, welding, and electronics) that may be taught in the technology education area.

Courses

ENGR 1030 Computer Assisted Design Using SolidWorks

Introduction to using computer aided drafting (CAD) in engineering design. Topics covered include 2-D and 3-D drafting and the integration of drafting with engineering design software, use of layers, blocks and components, scaling, organization of engineering drawings, and drawing commands specific to Solidworks.

CCET 4960 Senior Project

Consideration of selected CAD-CAM problems. Presentation of topics by students, department faculty, and CAD-CAM industry representatives.

CCET 4600 Engineering Design
