Although the caseload of students with categorical disabilities and limited English proficiency has increased in recent years for secondary engineering design graphics teachers, the level of preparation to teach students with these characteristics has not. Given that teachers must develop inclusive classroom environments for all students, the current state for teacher preparation in regards to working with students with categorical disabilities and limited English proficiency needs to be explored. This study analyzes data from the School and Staffing Survey Teacher Questionnaire to determine the current characteristics, credentialing, and caseload for secondary engineering design graphics teachers. The results show that almost two-thirds of engineering design graphics teachers have a bachelor's degree or less, while half of those have less than a bachelor's degree. In addition, approximately one-third of all engineering design graphics teachers are certified through alternative licensing programs, which include little to no preparation in working with students with categorical disabilities and limited English proficiency. The implications of these results are that as caseloads increase for teachers working with students with categorical disabilities and limited English proficiency, more preparation is required to provide teachers with evidence-based pedagogy in order for these students to achieve their learning potential.

The article reports on Optometrists who work to promote healthy lifestyle decisions that can affect a patient's eyesight, such as not smoking and wearing safety glasses when doing dangerous work; Optometrists often work in private practices working full-time, either on their own or with a group of other doctors within the same practice; and they can diagnose and treat major problems or diseases, injuries, and eye disorders.

In this article the author talks about -aerospace engineering technicians, and aerospace engineering technicians work to bring the engineer's vision to life by building, modeling, testing, calibrating, and recording data on aircraft systems. It mentions that technicians are also responsible for designing and building the testing facilities to test the products on the ground or in a computer simulation before they see airtime.
