About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

The Council for Economic Education Releases New Standards for Teaching K-12 Economics

Economics is everywhere these days -- and our policies and understanding around them are evolving. What students learn about economics is critical to their future success and our nation’s prosperity.

Today, the Council for Economic Education is releasing the new third edition of National Content Standards in K-12 Economics. These new standards will guide the teaching of essential economic principles for years to come, influencing state departments of education, school boards, teachers and curriculum publishers.

"Economic literacy is an indispensable skill for navigating a complex world,” said Steve Bumbaugh, CEE’s chief executive officer. “Students who study economics can convert complex concepts into practical, real-world solutions. Our new standards will help America’s young people better understand business principles and government policies, positioning them to be informed, prosperous citizens.”

The updated standards include 260 benchmarks grouped into 18 economic pillars including business and market structure, roles of government, labor and income, international trade, inflation and – new in this edition - technology. These standards are designed to be relevant for different grade levels.

Through the application of these standards, elementary school students will grasp the concept of scarcity with relatable examples, like everyone wanting to use a new swing set at the same time. Middle schoolers will delve into market economy principles, such as why ride-share apps can hike prices during peak hours. High school students will unravel complex economic terms and ideas, such as how a minimum wage increase might affect their interest in after-school jobs but also employers' hiring decisions.

“Economics helps students develop critical thinking and analytical skills, which are essential for making informed decisions in personal and professional lives,” said Raphael W. Bostic, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and a member of CEE’s board of directors. “We’re not trying to make everyone into an economist; our goal is to help students grow and thrive in whatever they choose to pursue.”

While every state has its own economic education standards, they often derive from CEE’s national set. Yet, according to CEE’s most recent biennial Survey of the States, only 28 states require high school students to take a course in economics to graduate.

To update the 2010 standards, CEE surveyed experts from across the country. Teachers, economic educators and curriculum coordinators in multiple states reviewed drafts, along with an expert in culturally responsive pedagogy.

The National Content Standards in K-12 Economics is available for free download here.

CEE gratefully acknowledges funding for the new standards by the Calvin K. Kazanjian Economics Foundation.

About the Council for Economic Education

The Council for Economic Education's (CEE's) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families and their communities. We carry out our mission in three ways. We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources — online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide — to more than 40,000 teachers annually, who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program. Learn more at CouncilForEconEd.org and on LinkedIn and on Facebook.

Economic literacy is indispensable for navigating a complex world. CEE's new K-12 economics education standards will help young people better understand business principles and government policies, positioning them to be informed, prosperous citizens.
