It is, of course, a law in neither the political nor the scientificsense, but rather is a pattern of technological evolution, spurred by human ingenuity andcompetitive spirit. The human genome project, predicted to take 15 years to complete in 1990,was finished in only ten and the life-cycle of technology products gets shorter and shorter.McKibben talks about our moment in technological history as being at the “knee of the curve” ofexponential growth in technological

Over time the teaching methods have been expanded to include recreatedartifacts (Loendorf & Geyer9, 2008), demonstrations (Loendorf & Geyer10, 2009), othercollections of technologies (Loendorf & Geyer11, 2010), and innovative visual content(Loendorf8, 2011).An additional teaching method was incorporated right from the very beginnings of the course butwas so tightly integrated into the course that it was almost overlooked. That method wasstorytelling. Stories with a historical perspective as well as personal experiences abouttechnology are intertwined throughout the entire course. These stories, in many ways, help thestudent

A parallel examplecomes from the UK where in respect of a large underground rail development in London(Crossrail) the contractor reported that it will require 1000 tunnellers. But there were only 500tunnellers in the whole of the UK whose average age is 55 years. Unfortunately it did not saywhat qualifications were required [17].More generally in the United States recent evidence on the demand for personnel seems tosuggest that the pattern of demand is changing.

They sought to define by examples the differences between the two (see exhibit 2). Oneapproach offered by Krupczak et al was to distinguish between the two literacies as processand project which is the approach adopted here. Technologies are the products of the processof engineering. If that is in anyway correct, then while useful to engineering educators inschool and higher education it is no wonder that the public is confused about the differencesbetween “technologists” and “engineers,” and no wonder the media tend to use the term“technologist” more often than they do the term “engineer.” The thinking is easy

to argue that because they are by their nature contingent, an informationgiving curriculum based on a collection of traditional disciplines is unlikely to developtechnological competency. The most likely curriculum to develop technological competencywill be problem/project based, accompanied by a study of qualitative engineering. Because itis likely to require students to obtain knowledge independently, and because individuals andorganizations learn, its base should be an active understanding of the nature of learning.Some examples of transdisciplinary programmes are mentioned together with sometransdisciplinary texts, but they err on the side of information giving rather than problemsolving and critical thinking which lie at the heart of

Because the disciplines are dynamic they are concerned as much with “what will be” as with “what was” [14]. That this is so, is illustrated by the great curriculum projects that were undertaken in the sixties and seventies because in the U.S. teachers did not have the resources to undertake such developments which normally be considered to be part of the role of the teacher functioning in this ideology [15]. The scholar academic ideology is teacher centred. Information is conveyed to the mind which reasons about it, as required. Learning is the result of teaching [16]. Because each

In addition, we would liketo know if the process helps them developing self awareness in their learning practices and if thishelps them be more successful in their growth as engineers.As instructors, these bring us new challenges. Generally, students tend to repeat what theymostly did in their classes: memorize and repeat what they know well to achieve good grades. Inmost classes, tests are also designed around such learning practices. However, there aren’t manyways for students to communicate their learning methods, their thoughts, and their reflection onhow
