  • Abstract
    CeTUSS primary mission is to develop evidence based approaches to teaching engineering emphasising the context and role of engineering as a part of a modern and progressive society. It promotes approaches to learning and teaching that improve the alignment of technology education with the needs of society and students. The intent is to increase both motivation and participation of students through the introduction of learning approaches that make the content both relevant and meaningful. The methods by which the center accomplishes this mission are to identify, develop, and disseminate ideas that make technology education. Increasing focus on teaching practice over the last fifteen years has resulted in a worldwide shift in education from instructor-centered to student-centered learning.
