they did not respond with a
narrow focus on technology
education or training.
General Robert F. McDermott,
Academic Dean, of the U.S. Air

in a world of increasing
technological complexity,
education needs to increase
emphasis in both classical and

1. There was a widespread interest in the subject of
industrial education.
2. The lack of skilled workmen was not chiefly a want of
manual dexterity but a want of what what may be called
industrial intelligence.
3. There was a growing feeling of inadequacy of the
existing public school system to fully meet the needs of
modern industrial and social conditions. The schools were
too exclusively literary in their spirit, scope, and methods.
4. To the question of who should bear the expense of

In my opinion, the STEM Ed Coalition, is one of the most harmful lobbies in the
United States to preparing our youth educationally to face their future—rather than
our past. This organization has consistently taken over the space in public policy and
funding advocacy occupied by CTE over the past 100 years—essentially replacing
advocacy for workforce education with a path to 4 year colleges only.
49. (1) There is no standard workforce or education
definition of STEM in the U.S.
(2) Today, labor market shortages are for STEM-
based skills across many jobs not typically classified
as STEM.
(3) A new approach to analysis is needed to identify
how social institutions such as employment are
changing as well as what skills give rise to
economic innovation and sustainability of
democratic ideals.

64. Educational Change
Today schools are working to
mainstream engineering, arts,
and computer science processes
within the academic context—
integration of practical and
applied arts.
65. Model classical contemporary schools that integrate
academic and applied arts with success in terms of
improving learning outcomes for students include:
1. Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School (K-8),
ppacs.net, PA.
2. Clark Magnet School, clarkmagnet.net, La Crescenta, CA.
3. Indian River State College, irsc.edu, Fort Pierce, FL.
4. University of Maryland Baltimore County, umbc.edu,
Baltimore, MD.
5. Olin College, olin.edu, Needham, MA.
66. Classical Contemporary Education - Systems Innovation
a. ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP - Adaptive leadership is specifically about change that
enables the capacity to thrive—change led from the bottom up and the top down
simultaneously.
b. INNOVATION LABORATORIES – Positioning challenges and opportunities from
the community (local and/or global) in the center of learning and education goals
through student- and teacher-driven innovation projects.
c. CULTURE OF INNOVATION - Context and frame for learning is real world and
purpose driven incorporating failure as feedback to the learning process. A culture
of innovation is conducive to learning, improving, and adapting while fostering risk
taking. In this view, learning cannot be achieved without feedback as an integral
part of the learning loop.
d. PRE-K TO PhD NETWORKS, SYSTEMS, & PATHWAYS - Sequenced, integrated and
transferable courses across K-12, Community College, University and the Adult
Continuing Education spectrum of lifelong learning.
67. Classical Contemporary Education - Pedagogical Innovation
INTEGRATED ACADEMIC & APPLIED PRACTICE -
STEM is used as a bridge to connect academic, arts, CTE, and health education;
Delivering integrated programs of study across disciplines (coherent course
sequences);
Integrating fine arts, performing arts, cultural arts, commercial arts, and
creativity as foundational to school culture and outcomes (not an add on);
Applying knowledge and skill-based learning through apprenticeship, expert
modeling, and project work;
Integrating disciplinary knowledge across subjects through innovation themes,
projects, and competitions; and,
Integrating professional development within and across faculty professional
development subjects/disciplines.

85. WHAT IS STEM?
A conversation with Rene Bonck, Aamco, Inc.,
Transmission Tech, Orlando, Florida, June 19, 2009.
QUESTION: What is the art of transmission repair?
"....part changer vs. someone who understands and
overlooks every part and design of the system.
Building... Creating the better system... That's actually
what we do. We take a system from a manufacturer
and those who know what they are doing actually build
a new system using what we know works from the past.
“We are inventors when we have to be. Some times we
redesign a component or a couple of components and
interfaces, sometimes we build a whole new systems
within a system...
“Art and science are the same thing.
“…look at new cars, art and science are one because of
drive by wire--there is no more mechanical controls…
The steering is driven by wire… by the same thing as a
video game joy stick. The new cars are robots. They
are remote control.”
86. WHAT IS STEM?
A conversation with Rene Bonck, Aamco, Inc.,
Transmission Tech, Orlando, Florida, June 19, 2009.
QUESTION: Define Tech, Engineer and Scientist:
Tech -"repairs and fixes"
Engineer -"designer”
Scientist - "test each component and find new
materials"
QUESTION: Which one are you?
"I am all 3. Fix it. Better way to make it last. We find or
build new parts that are stronger than the parts
manufactured. We engineer and design parts and a
system is stronger. Science is finding out what its
capabilities are... It's like a circle. The art and science is
the learning. The feedback. The governor.”
Rene operates in the world with a transdisciplinary
perspective--Renee is a craftsman, an artist, a scientist,
a philosopher, and an artist.

117. Why is everyone in U.S. and world
focused on robotics education?
124. (1) Automation (robotics) is having a significant impact
on the labor market by transforming the input to the
economy (input - artificial labor and artificial
intelligence).
(2) The net effect of the adoption and diffusion of
technology is the transformation of social institutions—
including family, work, school, law, the economy, and
national defense.
(3) The changes in work, the economy and other social
institutions is so profound that it is difficult—if not
impossible— to understand these changes using
traditional measures.
