The haptic feedback controller and accompanying computerapplication enable students to “feel and see” the forces an AFM tip experiences as it approachesthe surface of a measured sample. This instructional activity has now been implemented in anundergraduate-level class (“Micro/Nano Engineering Laboratory”) at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology in which mechanical engineering students obtain their first experience withnanotechnology. Students were split into two groups for instruction and assessment; students inGroup 1 (N=7) received traditional lab instruction and students in Group 2 (N=4) received thesame activity with haptic and visualization as a medium for relaying information.Post

Narrative Literature Review1. IntroductionThere is a growing concern, especially in the engineering community, about the role that technologyplays in creating a more sustainable, equitable, inclusive, and just society. To address these concerns,some engineering educators have drawn from work in Science and Technology Studies (STS) to helpcharacterize the relationship between technology and society. Explanations of the technology-societyrelationship vary greatly. For the sake of simplicity, if viewed on a spectrum, classic approaches includeTechnological Determinism on one end of a spectrum, which views technology as a powerful force thatfollows its own path and shapes the development of society (Heilbroner, 1967), and SocialConstructivism (Pinch
into engineering curricula [2-9]. And someauthors have pointed out that it is important to be certain that engineering students becometechnologically literate, so that they can understand how technology impacts society [2, 10-11].An ongoing discussion among engineering educators concerns how a program should balance theneeds for all these components in an engineering curriculum. Engineering programs often havefull curricula, with students having relatively little ability to study other areas without eithertaking additional courses or delaying graduation. And most engineering courses are intense,with instructors striving to fit a large amount of technical material into the course. So when oneproposes introducing more non-technical subject

In so doing, we want to emphasize some other dimensions ofengineering and technology in the popular imagination—their definition and shaping byhistorically contingent values and social configurations. These are likely both causes andconsequences of engineering’s historical demographics.In many cases, though, popular depictions of female engineers and scientists are relativelyuninterested in this complex causality. Instead, the preferred narrative focuses on the ability ofthe exceptional woman to join the world of technology and to thrive within its existingcompetitive, agonistic values. Indeed, those values make for great Hollywood stories of strivingand overcoming. The world of high technology is often depicted
