  3/18 - 3/20  Green Technology: STEM Solutions for 21st Century Citizens
Even though preregistration is now closed for ITEA's 72nd annual conference in Charlotte, March 18-20, 2010, you can still take advantage of all the conference has to offer by registering on-site in Charlotte. The conference theme is "Green Technology: STEM Solutions for 21st Century Citizens," and its focus is to increase awareness regarding how we can make strides to sustain our environment through smart decision making, consumerism, designing, creating, and using human ingenuity. These issues about GREEN TECHNOLOGY need to be addressed today to properly save and use our resources for tomorrow, and the 2010 conference will address them from the perspective of STEM education. STEM is one of the hottest topics in education in America right now. Technology and engineering education can and does play a critical role in helping school districts deliver all aspects of STEM education to students who are particularly interested in the field of "green" technology.

  5/7 - 5/8  2010 American Society for Engineering Education Northeast Section Conference
Students today have been born and brought up in a digital world characterized by multimedia, and social networking. This extends beyond highly technical gadgets, and includes opportunities and encouragement for self-directed learning, creativity, and empowerment. Engineering education must embrace these changes and address the challenges and opportunities that it faces. We need to understand how the digital generation learns, communicates, and socializes in ways which are significantly different than the previous generation. This generation can seem to be, even to those only one generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow. In the coming years, how should engineering and technology education respond to the needs of the digital generation? This will be the theme for an exciting and thought provoking weekend of professional workshops, presentations, and discussions at Wentworth Institute of Technology.
