Program solicitations and program descriptions from the National ScienceFoundation were selected over two three year periods one decade apart: 2003-2005 and 2013-2015. Programs focused primarily on undergraduate engineering education were selected. Thusgraduate focused programs that overlapped engineering education—e.g. Integrative GraduateEducation and Research Training (IGERT)—were excluded as were Graduate ResearchFellowships. Programs focused on technician training—e.g. Advanced Technology Education—and K-12 focused programs were also excluded as were those focused on a

thetechnology essential for daily life. Engineering concepts are pervasive in decision making withinindustry, government, education, and health care, yet most people complete formal educationwith little exposure to the central ideas and principles underlying our technological society. Theterms engineering literacy and technological literacy have been used to describe aspects of thisunderstanding of human-developed process and products. This work addresses some of thedifferences and similarities between the concepts of engineering literacy and technologicalliteracy. A clear well-defined understanding of each of these areas is an essential first step indeveloping a means to promote these understandings in the undergraduate general educationprogram
