Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Technology Assessment: A Graduate Course To Build Decision-Making SkillsAbstractThe decision to adopt and use a technological innovation is often accompanied with a broadrange of undesirable impacts upon the health and welfare of individuals, society, and theenvironment. As innovations become more complex, it becomes increasingly important thatengineers, consumers, and citizens build assessment skills which will enable them to make betterinformed, sound decisions regarding the choice to adopt, use, and dispose of innovations. Foralmost a decade, Technology Use and Assessment, a graduate online course, has providedopportunities for technology educators to develop
