Engineering in the Modern World (M. Littman) Students will a. develop an understanding of the transformation of the modern world through engineering (e.g., agriculture to industry, isolated to connected, etc.) b. define modern engineering through examples of innovations (structures, machines, networks, processes from the start of the industrial revolution to the present); understand the historical context (political, social, economic) for engineering innovation

Knowing that (a) and (b) are both not likely to happen, I would suggest10that those of us shaping technological literacy need to recognize now that the only way toteach this broader form of technological literacy is to work together to create materialsthat integrate how the machine works with how people use the machine. Engineers,historians of technology, and STS scholars must collaborate to create case

Teaching Technological Literacy: An Opportunity For Design Faculty

pleaded over the lastdecade that technological literacy is a topic which engineering faculty ought to providefor non-technical majors. We explore here the notion that design faculty are wellqualified, perhaps uniquely so, to teach such courses for non-technical majors, i.e., torepresent engineering and technology to the non-technical campus population. Engineering design instruction is universally present on the more than 300campuses hosting an engineering school. Since each engineering department has at leastone design instructor, in excess of 1,000 faculty are identified from which to recruitfuture technology literacy instructors. We propose this novel activity as a logicalcomponent of design instruction. Further, such novel
