Design, Engineering & Technology (DET) Survey

Description

The Design, Engineering and Technology (DET) Survey was developed to assess K-12 teachers’ perceptions of engineering and their familiarity with teaching design, engineering and technology. The survey consists of 40 self-report items answered through a 4-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=agree, and 4 = strongly agree). The items measure four factors: importance of DET (19 items), familiarity with DET (8 items), stereotypical characteristics of engineers (7 items) and barriers in integrating DET (6 items).

The ASSESS Engineering Education link provides access to information and documentation of the DET.
