How do high school mathematics and science teachers cover engineering and technology?

We surveyed science and mathematics teachers in a large urban school district to determine the extent of their coverage of topics related to engineering and technology. A questionnaire was sent to teachers in Grades 7-12, through the school district, asking them to identify engineering related material in the texts they used in their classrooms. Our results show that teachers cover the engineering related material available in the textbooks. However, the results show that most teachers do not understand what engineers actually do. Many teachers confuse using teaching technologies in the classroom with coverage of technology related issues.
