In colleges and universities, this need should be met as part of the generaluniversity core curriculum. Accounts from the history of technology, stories told by engineersand by users of technology, and news items can all be useful in teaching people aboutengineering and technology.While efforts to educate all citizens have been focused on people

However, theiroptions should be included as an element in the formulation of definitions of scientific andtechnological literacy. The needs and desires of the ultimate consumers is recognized as acrucial factor in the success of any product. In the evolving area of technological literacy for thegeneral student, engineering educators should make an effort to incorporate the perspectives ofthis target group into the formulation of a definition of what these non-SME&T students shouldlearn.II. MethodologyThe information used in this research was gathered from the 47 students enrolled in
schools. Students working on an IGVCvehicle are presented with ample opportunities to apply their knowledge and learn on the job. Atthe same time, the schools can showcase the outcomes of their curriculum objectives to ABETreviewers. With successful IGVC vehicle projects, prospective engineering graduatesdemonstrate the value of the education they have received, as well as their ability to apply theirlearned skills. A well-trained engineering student must demonstrate that they have: • An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering Page 8.760.7Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual

As the name expanded, first to “Technological and Engineering Literacy” (TEL) andthen to “Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering” (TELPhE), thedivision has taken what I perceive as a very healthy “philosophical turn.” Writing in the contextof legal education, Chayes, et al.
