The movement has emerged concurrent with the push toinstitute active learning in educational spaces; both making and active learning give learnershands-on experiences. In addition
strive for high and consistent standards, especially in the areas of math and science. The curriculum must culminate in a set of educational outcomes necessary for a career in engineering. A recent survey of calculus requirements for engineering technology programs revealed significant variance among four-year programs on the amount of calculus required.25 A modification to TAC of ABET criteria could be used to establish minimum math and science requirements that constituents deem necessary in the practice of engineering careers. This should include integral and differential calculus with the application in the technical content courses, but not necessarily require all science courses to be calculus

aspects of engineering and technological literacywould be missed, as for example, the differences in epistemologies used in engineering andscience. Nevertheless, they do highlight the values of such approaches in the achievement of“romance”.CommentThe intention of this paper is to contribute ideas as to how programmes in engineering andtechnological literacy might be developed as a component of liberal education that has as itsintention the elimination of the divide between the liberal and the vocational. It is argued thatany such programme needs to begin with a stage of “romance” as defined by Whitehead. Asconceived here the stage of romance for a program in engineering and technological literacy is ashort all embracing intensive program of
