One such study is from Krupczakand Green who described what non-engineers were interested in learning about within atechnological literacy course15. Students frequently mentioned wanting to gain practicalinformation to help consumers and users of technology, such as understanding what to do whentechnology breaks down. Understanding the actual thinking processes of scientists or engineersdid not come up. However, some educators do emphasize the need to make engineeringeducation more flexible so that non-engineering majors who want more technical backgroundhave a means for getting

Based on these results, adoptingItasca’s model of block scheduling could improve the student time to graduation and graduationrates at institutions across the nation.IntroductionAccording to the U.S. Congress, building a larger and more diverse workforce educated inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics is a critical national imperative for thetwenty-first century1. Increasing the number of engineers will first require increasing the numberof engineering students, and one way to do that is to “tap into the pool of students pursuingengineering science studies at community colleges, who could then transfer to four-yearinstitutions, where they could pursue baccalaureate or advanced degrees”2.
