Design, Engineering & Technology (DET) Survey

Instruments

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

Engineering Education Beliefs and Expectations Instrument (EEBEI)

Instruments

The Engineering Education Beliefs and Expectations Instrument (EEBEI) was designed to measure "teachers' beliefs and expectations about pre-college engineering instruction and preparation for students' access to college engineering programs and future career success in engineering" (Nathan et al., 2010, p.409). The EEBEI consists of 102 items. Seventy of the items in the EEBEI are Likert scale items, 16 are demographic items, and 16 items are based upon short vignettes (Nathan et al., 2010).The website and attachment provided contain documentation for this instrument.Authors provide instrument
