SET Careers: An interactive science, engineering, and technology career education exhibit. Final report to the United States Department of Energy Science Museum Program
The New York Hall of Science in collaboration with the Educational Film Center and the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications developed and pilot tested a unique interactive, video-based/hypermedia series on energy related and other science and engineering careers for middle and junior high school students. The United States Department of Energy Science Museum Program supported the development of one energy-related career profile (Susan Fancy--mechanical engineer) and the development and printing of 100 copies of a career-related workbook. Additional funding from the National Science Foundation and the Sloan Foundation resulted in the development of 3 additional career profiles, a related Data Base and Career Match Self Assessment for 16 careers, available both on screen and in print in this pilot phase. The SET CAREERS Exhibit is a video-based/hypermedia series which contains profiles of people working in Science, Engineering and Technology fields, interactive opportunities for users including interviews with profiled persons, opportunities to attempt work-related tasks through animated simulations, a Data Base of career-related information available both on-screen and in print, and a Career Match Self Assessment. The screen is in an attract loop mode, inviting visitors to interact with the exhibit. A menu of choices is provided so that users may begin by selecting a profiled person, choosing the Career Match Self Assessment or the Data Base. The Data Base is available in print if the user chooses that mode.
