important issues facinghigher education in 20131. This technological/pedagogical model has the potential oftransforming the way institutions with varying local resources can fulfill their educationalmission by tapping into resources made available from elsewhere.In engineering, ABET is the primary accreditation organization for post-secondary engineeringand technology programs in the United States. ABET requires that all engineering curriculainclude courses that teach students about the relationship between engineering practice andsociety. As argued in an earlier paper2, while economics and ethics courses are most often usedto fulfill this requirement, history offers the ideal stage on which to illustrate the engineering-society relationships.
