Or, inElliot,’s words 15: “We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time If the premise is correct that many of the “Tech Lit” instructors are bothrepresenting their disciplines to students, and seeking self in the engineering cosmos, thentwo things naturally follow: 1. Their diversity of disciplines works against development of a consensus Page 11.1227.12 version of Technological Literacy, although one could imagine a collection of versions as constituting an encyclopedia of

. Page 11.142.2Introduction to Virtue EthicsVirtue ethics is not a new concept. Most people regard it as something that was initiallydeveloped (as far as the Western world is concerned) by Aristotle more than 2300 years ago.Many ethical approaches concentrate on how to make good decisions when faced with difficultsituations. Aristotle’s approach was to emphasize virtuous living. A good person will makegood decisions, so what is important is to become a good person. In the 1200’s ThomasAquinas integrated this philosophy with a Christian perspective on the world. Aquinas’perspective was to dominate Western philosophical thinking for hundreds of years. For much ofthe 20th century virtue ethics was not commonly taught as a viable option by most

ideas that are helpful whenthinking about how to redesign the college.IntroductionImpending changes are presenting engineering schools across the country and around the globewith new challenges. Our task force at the UW-Madison COE has been engaged in efforts toassist the college in meeting these challenges. Some of these challenges are specific to the UW-Madison College of Engineering. Many of them, however, are universal. Our hope is that indiscussing the path(s) that we are following, we can broaden the conversation beyond a singlecampus. We do not want to mislead anyone: we do not claim to have the answers, and wecertainly have many unanswered questions, however, we believe that a national dialogue isrequired if engineering education is to

The widespread impact of e-commerce, e-mail, and digital music is Page 11.717.4undeniable and still growing. Although a typical freshman has not experienced such adrastic difference in their life, they still experience a slow metamorphosis every daybecause of new and clever uses of computers. Instead of exploring the ever-changingimpact of computers using a few sources, we spread the discussion throughout thesemester, and based it on our personal experiences, as everybody is likely to have a storyto tell. We preferred to use other engineering marvels for the

with the word “knowledge.” This was used as a springboard for discussion aboutthe class, its content, and its pedagogy. The week before reading Foucault, students wereintroduced to liberative pedagogies in class and through course readings1 and a reflective essay.On the first day of class, students were introduced to the syllabus as one representation of what isimportant in thermodynamics, not the definitive word.In a reflective essay and class discussion, students considered the relationship between powerand knowledge. The essay prompt read: “What is/are the relationship(s) between power andknowledge? Is knowledge the same thing as truth, or how does it differ? How does this relate tothe course (both the subject matter and how it is taught or
