ATE Curriculum
Problem-based learning
Interdisciplinary- Integrated Content
Workplace skills
Teams
How does Problem-Based Learning Facilitate Integration of Content
Workplace Scenarios
Covers physics content-focuses on workplace
competencies
PhysicsTopics to support workplace problem
solutions
MathematicsSupports physics theory,technology calculation,data analysis, and data
presentation
TechnologySupports physics, datacollection, data analysis
and communications
CommunicationSupports teaming,
information collection,reporting and
workplace-typepresentations Integrated
PBL
Integrated, Problem-Based Projects/Modules
Technology GatewaySix (6) projects: Introduction to
Technology Careers Simple Machines Basic Electricity Optics Temperature Measuring
Devices Hydraulic Jack
ET CoreSixteen (16) projects: First Term
Electrical -- 5 Thermal -- 1
Second TermMechanical -- 5Fluids -- 1
Third TermOptics -- 2Materials -- 2
What about Flexibility? Change the sequence of projects? Leave out or add projects? Students enroll in fewer than all ATE courses
in a semester? Adapt projects for use in existing courses? Offer in an evening program? Place transferring students in the middle of
Core?
