Thus, we can prepare all students for a changing world by teaching them the norms andmethods of design through a pedagogy which embraces those norms and methods. The theoretical and researchsupport for such a pedagogy is also presented.Social Change Technology is one of the forces that drives social change, and it seems to be doing so at an increasingrate.

In order to do so, students were required to research topics of theirown choosing and then communicate their findings to their peers, thus developing “soft skills.”The other central objective was for students to analyze the engineering design process as a wholerather than focusing on one aspect without examining the broader consequences. By examiningthe physical materials used, potential societal benefits of the product, and the practices of themanufacturing/sales companies, students were to study the impacts of these decisions anddetermine which would be sustainable. Furthermore, these objectives were carried out in such amanner that encouraged sustainable learning.The

Currently, such sophisticated design systemsare available only for specialized companies with large financial resources. The pay-per-useapproach will have tremendous impact on engineering design since the number of engineers andresearchers which have an access to sophisticated design tools will increase by a factor of at leastof 100. This rapid increase in the number of people involved in sophisticated design processeswill significantly accelerate technological development.The common problem being faced by many electronic engineers in industry is that their design
