But by their very nature as electives, technical elective courses should not beteaching material that is expected to be learned by every student graduating from a particularengineering discipline. Requiring students to take several such courses may impact their abilityto take courses from other disciplines which may be beneficial to them in achieving theirpersonal career goals. Therefore, it is important for engineering programs to consider the resultsthey are intending to achieve by requiring students to take technical electives, how these coursesmay be impacting the overall education of the students, and what is an appropriate number oftechnical elective courses to require. It can be noted that ABET

literate and economically competitive national citizenry [6], [9],[10], and even about the formative effect that post-secondary education can have on career pathsand life satisfaction [11], this study focuses specifically on how students choose betweenengineering and the physical sciences. We seek to investigate what factors guide their choice,including their prior knowledge and/or opinions about the differences and similarities betweenengineering and the physical sciences. Eventually, we aim to help to answer the larger question:How can post-secondary education systems (and even K-12 systems) better advise studentsinterested in engineering or the physical sciences to choose the academic and professional pathsthat align well with their values

So, theimmediate response to these essentials: ✓ Directing more effort to enhancing informed decision making on technological issues [1]. ✓ Enhancing informed decisions furthers social justice and the common good [1]. ✓ [Technological and engineering] decision making can be interpreted broadly [1].is a qualified yes … yes, we are doing them … though aside from visible curriculum elements inthose institutions that have adopted technological and engineering literacy in their academics, theeffectiveness and discernability of the work of the division is just not in a way that is formallyand measurably discernable.So, what should we do; why should what we do be taken seriously; how can a uniformtechnological literacy

tools for learning and practice (textbooks, homework, projects, etc.) and evaluations ofmastery (midterms and finals). Though ineffective teachers were undesirable, successful studentsknew how to learn for themselves by reading the textbook, by notetaking from both book andlecture, by practice on homework and projects, and by mutual sharpening through work withother students. Their undergraduate professors provided the “intervention of a single coherentand personal authority to direct the [student’s] will at its beginning … for it to be self-directingafterword” [10]. The authority of the “sage on the stage” provided the influence and the will toobey that motivated developing engineers toward graduation and future careers. These

They are appointed not elected. 5. The system also serves a career ladder. Promotion may be by seniority or achievement. 6. The official is excluded from any ownership rights in the organisation, and is subject to discipline and control in the conduct of his office.Exhibit 4. The Bureaucratic organisationAt the time of these studies it was held that the majority of firms were of the mechanistic typewith some moving to a more organic structure. It also seemed that there was some room formovement from the strict requirements of the role in relatively closed systems
