ACET
Activities
The Council fosters technology education through activities
such as its national conference, national technology educators
awards, journals, newsletters and national projects such as
the microfiche library, interactive database, and the resources
survey. ACET participates in projects of national significance
and various state projects through its affiliates.
The National Executive of ACET takes up issues at Federal level
and co-ordinates and supports the activities of its affiliated
organisations.
At all levels ACET activities are designed to improve the quality
of technology education by providing input to curriculum development
groups concerned with education. ACET also contributes to the
professional development of teachers and provides up to date
information and resources. Members are encouraged and prepared
to take up leadership roles nationally as well as within their
state and local area systems.
Technology
Education
The Council believes that technology education should play
an important part in the education of all Australian students.
The practical/hands-on problem solving mode of learning is now
even more important if students are to become competent in the
use of their knowledge and skills, and in understanding and
functioning effectively within their current environment and
in future study and work life.
Technology education, to remain relevant in meeting the current
and future needs of students, is moving into the new and developing
areas of robotics, electronics, computer graphics, computer
design drawing and databases, textiles, control systems, hydraulics,
pneumatics, instrumentation, and the technologies involved in
new and alternative energy sources.
ACET is committed to fostering effective education programs
for all students in the traditional, new and emerging areas
of technology.
