, history and culture, or reflecting on engineering in abroader context.1 Technology Survey Courses.Technology survey courses are those found to address a wide range of technologies. Manyinclude aspects of the social and historical dimensions of technology. The course formats werefound to be diverse but typically include lectures, demonstrations, and laboratories. Explanationof scientific principles utilized in technological devices is usually a major component. Thiscategory includes courses that classify themselves as “How Things Work” courses and includes Page 14.545.3physics courses that emphasize everyday technology. In some cases broadly based
