Technology: Engineering Our World

Technology: Engineering Our World emphasizes science and math concepts to show introductory students how these concepts have been used to develop technologies. This text explains how technology impacts our everyday lives and explores the responsibilities–both social and environmental–that come with the development and use of technology. Technology: Engineering Our World covers all the middle school benchmarks of ITEEA’s Standards for Technological Literacy.

Problem-solving and STEM skills are developed through application activities. A new robotics chapter introduces students to basic concepts associated with robotics. A career chapter discusses the basic skills needed in the working world, plus provides the structure for students to create and experience a school-based business.
