This is the nineteenth in a series of articles entitled "The Legacy Project." The Legacy Project focuses on the lives and actions of leaders who have forged the technology and engineering teaching profession into what it is today. Members of the profession owe a debt of gratitude to these leaders. One simple way to demonstrate that gratitude is to recognize these leaders and some of their accomplishments. The focus in this issue is on Dr. Gerhard Salinger. Herein, Salinger responds to the following six questions: (1) Technology education funding through the National Science Foundation (NSF) was practically nonexistent until you started your career there. Why were you interested in developing the profession through various projects, and what did you do to start the long relationship that followed? (2) You helped provide experiences for a whole series of technology educators through the NSF rotators program. Who were those professionals, and what was the objective of having them work at NSF? What kinds of projects and experiences did they work on? (3) How did NSF determine the funding directions during your Program Officer years? Were they effective? Why? (4) You were the NSF Project Leader and a primary supporter for the Technology for All Americans Project that went on to create the "Technological Literacy" content standards, with supportive standards related to professional development, programs, and assessments. Did the project accomplish what you originally envisioned? How did the results position our profession both in and outside of our subject area? (5) What were some of the most important decisions that you made while working with NSF STEM educational programs, and what were some of the unrealized expectations? and (6) What leadership characteristics made you successful in promoting technology and engineering education, given the advent of STEM education and the inclusion of engineering education at the pre-university level?
