5. Technology and
Engineering Literacy
The capacity to use, understand, and evaluate
technology as well as to understand technological
principles and strategies needed to develop solutions
and achieve goals.
Systems Thinking
Co-relate programming with other math and science
disciplines to encourage systems thinking and the
ability to see connections between the parts that
interact to form a whole. Students are learning how
to test, debug, reverse engineer, and breakdown
problems.

8. “By 2018 there will be 3x as many CS and
Engineering jobs as applicants. This goes
beyond CS and Engineering. Learning CS and
Engineering teaches problem solving skills, new
ways of breaking down complex scenarios, and
a means to build something tangible in our
software and mechanical driven age.”

modern machines as a 3D printer that
can use computer assisted designs to
turn out working thermoplastic
models ranging from new mechanical
inventions to chess pieces. A laser
cutter engraver, fast becoming a
standard in industrial shops
nationwide, can do its work from
computer generated designs on objects
up to 2 x 3 feet.”
