In the U.S. last year (2009), approximately 1.25 million children left school without a high school diploma (or about 7,000 students a day) (Furger, 2008). Many citizens in the U.S. believe that technology and engineering education is not relevant to our youth today. Rodger Bybee, who was quoted earlier in this paper, states the following about the lack of relevant education in technology and engineering in our schools today: “For a society so deeply dependent on technology and engineering, we are largely ignorant about technology, engineering concepts, and processes, and we have largely ignored this incongruity in our educational system” (Bybee, 2000).
