In the first year NEESdefined a set of Strategic Aims to better articulate the specific priorities of its mission. The EOTprogram had multiple opportunities to support each of these aims; however, priorities needed tobe defined. Therefore, one of the initial steps was to rewrite the proposed EOT program into anew detailed EOT strategic plan that articulated key objectives and goals in terms

engineering students at Northwestern University are required to go through Design-Thinkingand Communication (DTC), a two-term sequence to learn the human-centered design process.This design process follows six principle phases: 1. Define the problem 2. Conduct primary and secondary research 3. Identifying needs and specifications 4. Generate potential solutions 5. Evaluate, build, and test alternatives 6. Create an initial prototype to demonstrate the design solution.It is emphasized that this approach is not linear and requires frequent iteration of the phases inorder to develop a successful and meaningful solution.DTC emulates the iterative nature of this approach by following the same process through eachquarter of the course

The opening sections of TechnicallySpeaking: Why All Americans Need to Know More about Technology (2002), a joint publicationof the National Research Council and the National Academy of Engineering, make it clear thatthe initiative called “technological literacy” is concerned with a sophisticated and heterogeneouscombination of “knowledge, ways of thinking, and capabilities” and

United States realized that science and technology had a continuouslyincreasing role in the everyday life of our citizens and initiated a major effort to define culturaland scientific literacy (1-3). Bauer, et al. published a comprehensive review of the key issues inpublic understanding of science research, outlining the divergence between science literacy andsociety in general.Current developments connected with Global Warming, Pollution, Green Energy, and GeneticEngineering show that the “Trust deficit” and the “Crisis of confidence” between Society andScience are more prevalent now than ever before in our society and that our future depends onhow we will address these vital issues(5).As society continues to evolve, technological and
