If the hypothesis were supported, such patternswould give insight to the future development of the growing use of modeling and simulation(M&S) tools and the industry rapidly developing founded on their use.

concept has grown since the late 1950’s. Krupczak andBlake (Blake & Krupczak Jr., 2014) have charted development of the concept, lookingparticularly at the intersection of technological literacy with engineering literacy. It shouldbe noted that the term “technological literacy” is more commonly used in the United Statesthan other nations. A sense of how technological literacy has become more prevalent inconversations on education can be seen by looking at the word frequency of the term usingthe Ngram viewing tool (Google, 2010). While this tool has significant biases and limitations(Pechenick, Danforth, & Dodds, 2015) the relatively high representation of scientific andtechnical literature in the corpus and the fact that “technological

Related termsthat commonly appeared in these 29 papers also included: caring (20 papers), respect(ful) (17papers), ethic(s/al) (15 papers), and altrui(sm/stic) (14 papers). A detailed exploration of notionsof care in engineering was conducted by Strobel et al. [41]. Kindness may be more active andpersonal than care, as in showing kindness to others (or even oneself), and avoids potentialconfusion around notions of care and diligence in conducting accurate calculations. This quickanalysis shows the inter-relatedness of the ideas of kindness, compassion, empathy, and caring,illustrated somewhat more clearly in the

Due to time constraints and limited course duration, it is notanticipated that any Survey course will fill the entire matrix, but it would be expected that no rowwill be entirely blank. Meanwhile, a column could be blank if a technology topic area is notcovered due to time limits, but a Survey will likely cover most of these technology areas.Technological Literacy Focus Courses will go into great depth within one or more technologytopic areas with a higher percentage of C and D values in that column(s) when compared to aSurvey Course
