traditional college degrees.This self-depreciating view suggests that the content of traditional engineering technologyprograms is intrinsically of less value, a view not supported by research.The value and need of applications-based education should be compared to the impacts ofengineering departments removing the application technology from the programs. It has beensuggested this loss of practical knowledge has had a negative impact not only on the ability ofthe engineering graduate to perform successfully in an industrial environment, but also onengineering graduate education in that students are not well prepared to participate in successfulor useful research endeavors.Another academic consideration is the necessity for and the responsibility to

Itspawns feelings of safety, security, and opportunity because knowledge gives power.Should engineers and the developers of technology have a responsibility to the public to educatethose who purchase and use their products? Very often instruction booklets for technicalappliances explain how to complete specific tasks, but seldom do they explain the impact thosetasks will have on the user experience. For consumer products, for example, they could includea pamphlet or information booklet along with the instructions containing tips on why and how toeffectively use parental controls, filters, ratings, internet history, etc.Should educators have a responsibility to their

If the questions orassignments are designed with the elements of technological literacy in mind, this can give anindicator of the student’s progress in this area.For proper evaluation and assessment, some measure of the student’s technological literacy isneeded in the senior year. This may be done in senior capstone design or problem solvingcourses and in exit exams. If this material is integrated into the curriculum, it should be possibleto measure technological literacy with questions that are also used to evaluate progress in otheraspects.Also needed for proper evaluation is some standard for technological literacy.
