Abstract
In 1984, delegates of the American Industrial Arts Association (AIAA) changed its name to the International Technology Education Association (ITEA) (Godla, 1988). Along with the name change, industrial arts, with its focus on industry, was expected to change and encompass a broader point of view involving total systems. Four technological systems were identified: manufac- turing, transportation, communication and construction (G. M. Rogers, 1989; Snyder & Hales, 1981).
