Instead, itprovides researchers with some ideas as to how to identify and assess engineering literacy,explicating what the research “requires that we understand.”Engineering literacy works to describe an informed citizenry, wherein the person functionseffectively in a society that values engineering, as separate from technology.

Ultimately, “in a worldpermeated by technology, an individual can function more effectively if he or she is familiar withand has a basic understanding of technology” [9].The imperative to improve technology literacy in the United States stems from the recognitionthat our society is becoming increasingly dependent on technology, yet the level ofunderstanding of technology among adults its quite poor [10].

The students learnt to use 3Dprinters and print parts using two different materials (ABS and PLA). They were able to measurethe printed parts for dimensional accuracy and surface roughness and compare the results. Theywere able to build, calibrate, and make the drone to fly.
