Narrative Literature Review1. IntroductionThere is a growing concern, especially in the engineering community, about the role that technologyplays in creating a more sustainable, equitable, inclusive, and just society. To address these concerns,some engineering educators have drawn from work in Science and Technology Studies (STS) to helpcharacterize the relationship between technology and society. Explanations of the technology-societyrelationship vary greatly. For the sake of simplicity, if viewed on a spectrum, classic approaches includeTechnological Determinism on one end of a spectrum, which views technology as a powerful force thatfollows its own path and shapes the development of society (Heilbroner, 1967), and SocialConstructivism (Pinch
into engineering curricula [2-9]. And someauthors have pointed out that it is important to be certain that engineering students becometechnologically literate, so that they can understand how technology impacts society [2, 10-11].An ongoing discussion among engineering educators concerns how a program should balance theneeds for all these components in an engineering curriculum. Engineering programs often havefull curricula, with students having relatively little ability to study other areas without eithertaking additional courses or delaying graduation. And most engineering courses are intense,with instructors striving to fit a large amount of technical material into the course. So when oneproposes introducing more non-technical subject
