competing definitions of technological literacy that confuse theissue of how to best develop technological literacy in students through education. When onealso considers engineering literacy, scientific literacy, math literacy and information literacyand the more recent push for economic and media literacy, these confusions are magnified.To make sense of the many definitions of technological literacy it helps to look broadly at thegroups that promote them. Each group has an explicit or tacit epistemology, and consideringthe definitions that arise from these views help to illuminate the underlying aims andobjectives of teaching technological or engineering literacy. Here we briefly look at fiveperspectives: understanding technology in society

These non-SME&T are highly self-conscious of their lack of familiarity andexperience with hands-on scientific and technological activities.

“Converging Technologies”? Converging Technologies (CT) are the new and often unexpected technologies that appearwhen engineering and the liberal arts (primarily the sciences) are brought together (i.e.,converged or focused) on a single issue. In other words, they are the new technologies thatemerge when the liberal arts and engineering are combined in new ways to solve specificproblems. They may be the catalyst for emerging educational disciplines in the future. Because CT is inherently multidisciplinary, it faces the profound difficulty of eliminating the“silos” (or Lutz’s “chimneys”) that contain traditional liberal arts and engineering programs. Inthe past, technological advances have generally proceeded along linear paths imbedded

The NAE’s involvement lends prestige to technological literacy efforts. Moreimportantly, the NAE has been able to engage an impressive group of scholars and practitionerswho possess the broad range of perspectives required to (1) understand why technologicalliteracy is important, (2) define the traits a technologically literate person possesses, and (3)outline the key steps that various stakeholders can take to promote technological literacy at alllevels of our system of formal education and in informal educational settings as well.

work of an individual is no longer what facilitates technology transfer; rather it is the collectivesharing of information by a group [3]. Once the waves and the counter waves of Artificial Intelligence (AI)slowly but surely dwindle by the middle of the twenty-first century, the human side of technology transfer,which is still somewhat ignored, will be the focal point at the local, national and global levels. As opposedto today’s situation, once a technology becomes easily ‘knowable’, it is transferred from the haves to thehave-nots. This process will become much easier and less expensive from the giver’s side and easilyaccessible at the receiving end.Technology Transfer through International InternshipThe CO-OP and other internship programs
