Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering
literacy / philosophy of engineering can lead to a society fallingprey to unfounded fears and over-reaction resulting in an inability to truly understand and assessthe important technological issues and attendant decision processes to the detriment of thatsociety’s well-being [6], [7].As educators, what should our next action(s) be regarding technological literacy / philosophy ofengineering [8]? From a bibliography [9] of technological literacy / philosophy of engineeringresources, we have a pedagogy (158 papers and references), a history and definitions (8 papersand references), and theory, studies, and data (37 papers and references). But, we have only 7papers and resources on the “Why?” (Figure 1), the piece essential to move the discussion

render more loss of life anddestruction of property. As an example, large fires have destroyed highly affluent neighborhoods acrossCalifornia, Texas, and Florida. Floods and flash floods have killed hundreds of people around the worldeach year, more than any other weather event. Catastrophic flooding, as a result of Hurricane Harvey,left many people stranded. Tornadoes cause widespread property damage, clearing slabs and flippingmobile homes. Tornadoes are also most common in the central part and Great Plains regions of theUnited States; thus, including Mississippi (U. S. Tornadoes, 2016).As researcher Quarentelli has predicted (1996 and 2001) the increase of disasters and the emergence ofnew and more impactful disasters, there would be an

or design thinking29. More generally, thiswork follows the tradition of examining design actions to understand designers30. For this study,the specific platform used, Energy3D, recorded each student design action (e.g. Add Window,Edit Wall, or Annual Energy Analysis, Add Note) into a JSON format data-log. Researchers areable to use Energy3D to see all student design actions, their final design artifacts and relatedperformance of their artifacts on key design criteria. Three primary categories of action were thefocus of data analysis: Reflecting, Modeling, and Analysis. Table 1 summarizes our schema formapping action(s) to these categories.

The heat map of the velocity across the in-line chevronfeed spacer in Figure 1 (left image) enables identification of locations of low velocity within thecell. Figure 1 portrays areas of velocity less than 4 in/s via the dark blue color (the inlet velocity),which is within the range of typical inlet velocities for spiral wound element configurations. Thespacer geometry also increases the velocity toward the top of the inlet as the pressure increases inthat region due to the chevron obstructing the fluid path. The model provides an additionalcapability to evaluate pressure change over time (Figure 2).Figure 1. Velocity heat maps enabling visualization of velocity across feed spacers to
