tofully address such questions, engineering students need more than just technical skills. Theymust understand concepts relating to the fields of sociology, psychology, philosophy, andeconomics to name just a few. They must also be able to make appropriate value judgementsconcerning the technology they design.Science fiction considers the most important questions about technology. A course based onscience fiction readings and films can direct the students towards a considered approach toengineering design and development of technology. Such a course provides multiple advantages.First, it can give the students leverage on their own culture. An effective way to understandone’s own culture is to first look at a very different culture.

. DiscussionAssignments on the history of technology have been used by the author in both senior civil engineering and firstyear general engineering courses. In a senior seminar course, individual students were assigned to write a paper andmake an oral presentation on a topic about the history of technology. Students were given a list of possible topics,or could nominate topics for the instructor’s approval. The topics were usually of local or regional interest,including: notable structural failures, safety related tragedies, earth structures left by native populations,controversial projects such as power plants, development of highway corridors, and development of naturalresources.In a first year general engineering course, student groups were assigned to

Education is often a trailing indicator ofsocial change, but change is being forced upon engineering schools by economics, technology and industry. Itis this progressive movement in the social relations of work that we are addressing as it relates to both designand to education. In this progressive context, good design begins with designing the design team. The decisions madeearly in the design stage determine at least 70% of the costs of development, manufacture and use of a productaccording to a report by the National Research Council.13 Thus the way a design team is initially assembled isof

The instructordecides what should be learned based on their own paradigm of what a good engineer shouldknow, but this does not take into account the interests of the student or the ever-changing needsof the world. The underlying assumption of this predominant system is that human beings are notnatural learners and must be forced to learn through external behavioral motivations such asreward and punishment.A look through the literature shows that in the 1990’s, before No Child Left Behind (NCLB),there was much talk about grading and assessment, mostly related to standards-based grading.The discussion faded from view as the consequences of NCLB focused on the detrimental effectsof standardized testing.
