qualitative approach for examining language mediated frames that highlight someaspects of social reality while obscuring other aspects [52]. These frames or discourses may bespoken or communicated through “texts”, including the multimodal texts like videogames [11],[53]. To identify any discourses in Iconoclasts, the author analyzed the recorded dialogue fromthe game and associated notes on the story or storytelling from the research journal. Particularattention was given to engineering and technology topics and what was being included or excludedabout the topic, what assumptions the discourse(s) carried and which characters were invoking thediscourse(s). Previous engineering education research was reviewed to help connect the discoursesin

students and faculty contribute meaningfully to a region’seconomy and individuals get adequate return on their investment in education. Finally auniversity’s moral function gives individuals the guidance and experience to act in ways thatcontribute to a common good. Taken together these functions contribute to holisticdevelopment of the individual. It is proposed that this Learning-Societal-Economic-Moral(L-S-E-M) framework can be used to describe potential impacts of IT on university functions.In other words it provides a framework to discuss the aims which a university educationshould seek to achieve as pressures rise to shift its functions from humans to computers.As digital technologies are increasingly adopted in education and cost pressures

While the students’ mainrole is to learn, it is observed that in most classrooms, students approach learning through the lensof the instructor’s vision. The authors have experienced it in engineering as well as technologicalliteracy classes, with some differences. For this paper we focus on the engineering students. Inrecent years, newer pedagogical approaches and improvements in instruction techniques haveexpanded the student’s view from this lens [1,2]. Nonetheless, students who are taking more thana few classes with heavy syllabi tend to focus on finishing the classes with

old model was to start with the technician training and infuse more science, and mathematical version of the 50’s-‐60’s technician trainings. However, the pragmatic essence of engineering to build, design, and make things was fading and began to disappear in most curricula. Consequently, ABET tweaked its emphasis to ensure that engineers are developing the right balance of hard and soft skills.

subscribe to this ideology value a programmed curriculum, and the psychology underpinning it to be found in behavioural psychology, as for example that of B. F. Skinner. In engineering education it can be seen in the systems of mastery learning and personalised instruction that were experimented with in the 1960’s and 1970’s [18; [19]; [20]. While behavioural psychology was replaced by cognitive psychology it is relevant to note that there are many politicians and administrators who believe that computer assisted learning might come to be used to replace lectures which are considered to be conveyors of the same knowledge that is to be sound in textbooks. Evaluation is very important to those who hold this ideology. There are

Then, as now, “technological literacy” is the most widely recognized way of describing theproject(s) in which this division is engaged. In my 2006 paper, I argued that we needed torename the enterprise, mainly because “literacy” implied remediation rather than the aspirationto create something that had never existed before: a well-informed citizenry with the knowledge,motivation, and confidence to engage in purposeful deliberation about technology. Looking back from a distance of over 10 years, I am pleased to say that

The document in the meantime has been updated threetimes to date and will be an ongoing reminder to vary questions, to think about creative ways tohave students think about the material from different angles, to find parallels in their own lives,and to apply historical examples to current situations. Students are free to consult their neighborsand their phones but at the end of class have to hand in a small chit with their answer(s) to theTAs for the course.

This storywas adopted, adapted, and expanded from a concept by Teich19 (2008) and titled by the author ofthis paper as “The Better Technology.” The Better Technology In the early 1900’s, gas-powered cars shared the roads with those powered steam engines, such as the well known Stanley Steamer’s. Another small player was the electric cars. Eventually, internal combustion engines captured the market and the old steamers disappeared. But why? The usual assumption is that the two contenders went head to head and the best technology won. But there is a lot
