Crucially, we do not assume thatan ideological mode observed by a student or by a group will characterize the student or group ina different context.We note that mindsets and “the culture of disengagement” prevalent in engineering andengineering education are cultural constructions that have ideological character. The ideology-in-pieces theoretical framework provides us with theoretical and analytical tools for making senseof engineering students’ reasoning in ways that allow us to begin building a bridge fromstudents’ contextualized, often tacit ideological assumptions to the grand “mindsets” and

Such efforts typically take the form of coursesdesigned to promote technological literacy for liberal arts majors, or courses designed toencourage engineering or science majors to consider the social and political implications of theirprofessions.Technological literacy for non-technology majors has been addressed in a variety of ways. Onevery popular version is to provide a course for students, early in their collegiate career, to learnan engineering application that has direct relevance to their lives. This approach has been used atYale University in the course

They also reiterated the concern that a course offered by a singleassociation might be biased towards that association’s fields of interest.At the same time, they were sanguine about student interest in history, and suggested that such acourse should be required, but there is no longer any space in the curriculum.
