A $100 award has been established for the Technology Student Association for Prepared Speech in middle school
and Prepared Presentation in high school in honor of Robert Tinnen Troxler.
R.T. Troxler was a professor at NC State University in the School of Education. He was much loved by all that
knew him. He spent his life devoted to the advancement of teachers and students in Technology Education and
always participated in the students’ competitive events every year. In his day it was called Industrial Arts. He
taught at NCSU in this area for 44 years retiring at age 70, in 1989 only because it was mandatory. He loved teaching, creating, inventing and learning new things. He taught drafting and architectural drawing the old school way
with drawing boards and T-squares. He also taught woodworking, ceramics, product design and many other classes at NC State. He was a lifelong learner and spent much time at the DH Hill Library in research. He would
have loved Google and the Internet at the tip of his fingers, but his time was before computers. He was a joy to
be around and a very positive and thought-provoking person who touched the lives of many people in the area of
Industrial Arts and Technology Education. He was quite a leader and the president of many organizations
throughout his life. He enjoyed entertaining a crowd and was an excellent public speaker equipped with great
stories and wonderful jokes. He used the old slide-show projectors before the age of Power Points. Troxler always wore his signature bow-tie and looked for ways to add fun to his classes by cooking his students’ breakfast
on some unusual cooking equipment or ending his class with a picnic or party. It is in honor of this great man, as
a wonderful teacher, speaker, friend and father that the R.T. Troxler Memorial Award has been established.

TECHNOLOGY STUDENT ASSOCIATION
CREED
I believe that technology education holds an important place in my
life in the technical world. I believe there is a need for the
development of good attitudes concerning work, tools, materials,
experimentation and processes of industry.
AF
I will accept the responsibilities that are mine. I will accept the theories that are supported by proper evidence. I will explore on my
own for safer, more effective methods of working and living.
R
I will strive to develop a cooperative attitude and will exercise tact
and respect for other individuals.
D
Through the work of my hands and mind, I will express my ideas to
the best of my ability.
I will make it my goal to do better each day the task before me, and
to be steadfast in my belief in my God, and my fellow Americans.
