- W166126814 abstract "Anyone who reads or attends an ITEA conference will quickly discover that the current trend is to teach the technological-design process and include principles of engineering in technology education classes. We struggled for a long time at our school with how to make this happen within the drafting curriculum that we teach. Over the past few years, we have developed, borrowed, and stolen some really good ideas and would like to share them with other technology education teachers. From the standpoint of finding high quality practical design projects, the best thing we ever did was to get involved within our own school and help out with projects that are going on in our school district. We have also done design projects for local townships and boroughs, non-profit organizations, Eagle Scout projects, and much more. Redesign Your School Building In the wake of Columbine, 9/11/01, and other tragedies, it dawned on most school districts that their buildings were not designed with security in mind because we weren't having so many of these kinds of problems 50 years ago. So my class decided to redesign our high school to provide for increased security, accommodate a 20% expansion of the student population, and meet the specific needs of each department chair and administrator in our building. The department chairs were an incredible help because they asked for a lot of very specific things that gave my students some real design specifications. Here are some examples: * Art wanted natural light in their classrooms. * Science wanted southern exposure for growing plants. * Guidance asked for a small computer lab for their futures center. * The physical education and athletic departments wanted a larger gymnasium, more seating for students, a larger weight room, a new fitness center, expanded locker rooms, and a larger training room. * The technology education department wanted a significant expansion and the addition of a TV studio. This activity has been a tremendous success each year because the students get more excited about the activity than anything else we do; they communicate more openly, with contributions from every student; the activity gives the students some very practical experience designing a building with which they are very familiar, and it has given the technology education department a great deal of P.R. within the building. Playground Design Over 200,000 children are injured on playgrounds each year. As a result, there are a tremendous number of parent groups that have Web pages to promote safe playgrounds and raise money to rebuild older style playgrounds that might not be as safe as those with a more modern design. Most groups have pictures of playgrounds and their group's description of what makes a safe playground on their Web pages. These Web pages provide a great resource to drafting students as they do their design research because they can gather an almost limitless amount of information before beginning the actual design process. High school students obviously have a lot of relatively recent experience on playgrounds and tend to get pretty excited about working with and designing them. I give the students some specifications, emphasize safety as an underlying component of their designs, break them into groups, and have them work through the design process in their groups. Miniature Golf Course Design I saw an article a few years ago about a school where the drafting classes got together with the geometry classes to design a nine-hole miniature golf course. The drafting class created a set of plans, which were given to the materials class. The materials class actually built a permanent miniature golf course on school property. We do this activity in my drafting classes, except we do not partner with math or materials classes. …" @default.
