David Burghardt writes, "My quest to improve technological literacy in K-16 education has been the unifying theme of my work for more than a decade. This quest shapes the research I perform, the texts I write, the courses I create, the departments I chair, and of course, my teaching. I have had the good fortune to direct several multi-million dollar grants from the National Science Foundation over the past twelve years. Of the 11 books I have written, the two most recent focus on engineering and design. I have created courses on Children's Engineering, ELED 239, and the Impact of Technology on Society, TPP 201. I created and co-direct the Center for Technological Literacy, chair the Engineering Department, and am working with my students to create active teaching/learning classrooms. "
