| Descripción: | Many college and university technology schools and departments are faced with the challenge of locating and recruiting students for their programs. In some cases, this situation is caused by potential students being unfamiliar with either technology in general and/or the specific programs that are available. One solution to this problem is to educate potential students about technology areas and programs through the use of effective laboratory demonstrations. This paper reviews demonstrations that have been utilized at Purdue University's Statewide Technology Program in Richmond, Indiana, to expose potential students to the Mechanical Engineering Technology and Technical Graphics fields. Other possibilities for effective demonstrations in technology, and future developments for effective demonstrations are also discussed. |
