Utah Effective Teaching Standards UETS STANDARD 4- Content Knowledge: The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structure of the discipline. Standards for Engineering and Technological Literacy STEL 5: Influence of Society on Technological Development 5F. Analyze how an invention or innovation was influenced by its historical context. 5H. Evaluate a technological innovation that arose from a specific society's unique need or want. STEL 6: History of Technology 6C. Compare various technologies and how they have contributed to human progress. 6F. Relate how technological development has been evolutionary, often the result of a series of refinements to basic inventions or technological knowledge. 6G. Verify that the evolution of civilization has been directly affected by, and has in turn affected, the development and use of tools, materials and processes. 6H. Evaluate how technology has been a powerful force in reshaping the social, cultural, political, and economic landscapes throughout history. Technology and Engineering Practices TEP-1: Systems Thinking Designs and troubleshoots technological systems in ways that consider the multiple components of the system TEP-2: Creativity Exhibits innovative and original ideas in the context of design-based activities Elaborates and articulates novel ideas and aesthetics TEP-3: Making and Doing Exhibits safe, effective ways of producing technological products, systems, and processes Demonstrates the ability to regulate and improve making and doing skills TEP-4: Critical Thinking Defends technological decisions based on evidence Uses evidence to better understand and solve problems in technology and engineering, including applying computational thinking Technology and Engineering contexts TEC-4: Energy and Power TEC-5: Information and Communication
