Educational Needs

• Baby Boomers aging- not retiring but working part
  time or trying new careers. (I didnt retire
  because I was tired, I just need to be
  re-planted) ,Jack Welch CEO of GE and CBS
• Retraining and capturing their knowledge.
• New generations are delaying going to college.
  New work force less educated that the previous.
• Education needed for technical jobs.

27
Need for Reform
2006 was defined by

• Google
• The World is Flat- Thomas Freidman
• George Lucas Educational Foundation, Bill Gates,
  Steve Jobs
• Natural disasters (Katrina)
• Wars (materials and equipment)
• Blogs
• iPods and Podcasting
• A dramatic influx of new technologies designed to
  give us freedom and control of our lives

28
Why Career and Technical Education?
It takes 15 years to create a scientist or
advanced engineer!
We should be embarking on an all-hands-on-deck,
no-holds-bared, no-budget-tolarge crash program
for science and engineering careers education

Reading in America

• Consider the following statistics
• Only 14 of adults with a grade school education
  read literature in 2002.
• 51 of the American population never reads a book
  over 400 pages after they complete their formal
  education.
• 73 of all books in libraries are never checked
  out.
• The average American watches 32 hours of TV every
  week.
• The average American reads only eight hours
  (books, newspapers, magazines, Yellow Pages,
  etc.) every week.
• The average American annually spends ten times
  more on what he puts on his head than what puts
  into his head.

30
Reading in America

• Consider the following
• If you read just one book per month for 12
  straight months, you will be in the top 25
  percentile of all intellectuals in the world!
• If you read five books on one subject, you are
  one of the worlds foremost leading authorities
  on that subject!
• If you read just 15 minutes a day every day,
  for one year you can complete 20 books!

• MP3 recorders in the classroom
• Cameras (Digital and Phone)
• IPods (University) Instant video connections
• Mobil Technology (everything on your cell phone)
• Blogs (MySpace, newspapers)

New Communication
Why Change?

• When handwritten essays were introduced on the
  SAT exams for the class of 2006, just 15 percent
  of the almost 1.5 million students wrote their
  answers in cursive. The rest? They printed. Block
  letters.

Communication

• 53 are between 18 and 34
• These are new and upcoming teachers
• 6 are teachers retiring
• 12 Are school age

"Cell phone customers who text are good at
getting their thoughts down in concise fashion,"
said Charles Golvin, an analyst at Forrester
Research. "People think of it as meaningless
conversation and chatter, but ... it's an
extremely efficient form of communication."

Methods of Teaching Technology
Podcasts
Podcasts are digital files that can be accessed
through the Internet and downloaded onto a
computer or MP3 player. Professors can record
lectures as they speak during class or prepare
supplementary information and upload to a server,
such as their class Web site, for free. Students
can then access the file and play it as often as
they like.
Pros Helps students study better
Convenient access to lectures Ability to
repeat difficult portions Cons Temptation to
skip class Diminished vitality of in-class
debates Questions whether podcasting lectures
contributes to learning

podcasting as a great way to communicate with
students, teachers, parents, and their community.

Technology Education Needs

• Nano Technology
• Communications Technologies (Wireless Technology
  Access everywhere WIMAX)
• Alternative Energies
• Alternative Fuels Micro Fuel Cell (Toshiba 2008)
  Replace Batteries)
• Hydrogen Fuel cells
• Work force needed (Science, engineering based
  (technicians), technical, and non-off shoring
  service jobs)
• TV shows determining are hot programs
• Welding (Junk yard, biker shows),
• Business (Apprentice),
• Culinary Arts (Cooking shows),
• Health care (ER, Greys Anatomy)
• Music

Toshiba Fuel Cells
Toshiba announces a prototype of a Fuel Cell MP3
Player. This Toshiba MP3 player is powered by a
Methanol Fuel Cell. There is actually a Flash
based MP3 player and a HDD based player. The HDD
based Player has a 10ml fuel tank, which provides
for a 60 hour play time. The Flash MP3 Player has
a 3.5ml tank that holds for 35 hours.

Technology Education Needs

• High Tech Service occupations in high demand! (4
  out of the 5 jobs needed in 10 years does not
  exist today)
• These are jobs that cannot be off-shored or
  out-sourced
• Needed to support our communities
• Example Electricians needed for Colorado
  Project- loss of 175 million.

42
Near Future Needs

• By 2010, personal transportation devices will be
  all the rage, and electric shoes with built-in
  roller-skates will be gaining much of the
  attention. After nine years of heavy media
  coverage, the Segway Human Transporter will begin
  to gain serious market share.
• By 2015, traditional gas-powered autos will
  start to decline with electric automobiles and
  hybrids taking up most of the slack.

43
The Power Industry

• Electric vehicles will start to make major market
  inroads around 2015 because of improved battery
  technologies and because of the fact that the
  electric infrastructure is already in place for
  rapid "refueling." Hydrogen will make some
  inroads but will not become anything more than a
  niche industry.
• The automotive industry will make a near-complete
  transition to binary power as a principle source
  of vehicular power.
• Space-based power stations will be operational,
  supplying a significant percentage of the world's
  power needs.
• Nearly all light bulbs will have disappeared,
  replaced with binary power creating points of
  light in space.

44
Binary power

• The friction-free no-moving-parts vehicles will
  run on what we call "binary power." Binary power
  is the concept where two otherwise harmless beams
  of energy will intersect at some point in space
  creating a source of power.
• To better explain binary power, think in terms of
  two invisible beams intersecting in a room and
  the point at which they intersect is a glowing
  point of light. Yes, binary power eventually will
  replace all light bulbs. And lest you think it
  can only be used for intense forms of power, it
  also will be used to create "points" of sound,
  eliminating the need for speakers and headphones.

45
Near Future Needs

• By 2020, we will see an industry being built up
  around self-illuminating highways - highways that
  glow in the dark. "Glow roads" will dramatically
  change the nighttime aesthetics of major cities
  and will be shown to improve driving safety at
  night and reduce the need for streetlights.
• With GPS guidance systems and controls there will
  be no need for traffic courts

46
Near Future Needs

• Around 2030 we will see commercialization of the
  first friction-free, no-moving-parts flying
  vehicles, which will be considered by many to be
  the ultimate freedom machine. Much like the
  transition from analog to digital in the world of
  information technology, the study of traditional
  mechanics and traditional aerodynamics will be
  replaced with a new physics governing vehicular
  movement.

motorcar is coming. You may smile. But it will
come..." Henry Ford, Chairman, Ford Motor

The emerging space industry
By 2050

• Frictionless engines will form the basis of new
  propulsion systems for space travel.
• We will have fully functioning space elevators
  operating at full capacity, moving both people
  and supplies into space.
• More than 1 million people will have visited the
  moon.
• Several dozen space hotels will have made a major
  impact on tourism with growing numbers of people
  opting for the "sleeping with the stars" vacation
  package.
• Several space stations will have been started as
  small working cities to build the next generation
  of space-based industries.

48
Space Elevator
49
Carbon nanotubes

• The space elevator would ferry satellites,
  spaceships, and pieces of space stations into
  space using electric lifts clamped to the ribbon,
  serving as a means for commerce, scientific
  advancement, and exploration.
• The discovery of carbon nanotubes and the ongoing
  development to implement them into a composite is
  the key to space elevator viability being
  achieved in the coming years.
