Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Increasing Technological Literacy through Improved Understanding of Technology Emergence and DiffusionAbstractUnderstanding technology change and how to influence the process has been identified as acritical societal problem, and efforts to define and increase technological literacy have beenunderway as an approach to solving the problem. Technological literacy cannot be complete,therefore, without an understanding of major processes of technological and social change.Contrary to popular wisdom and belief, the emergence and diffusion of new technology is arelatively orderly and predictable process. Successful results in the forecasting of technologicalchange have given fresh

Such on-the job learning used to come from junior’sbeing mentored by experts critiquing their work. It also occurred when builders and operatorsprovided feedback regarding deficiencies. For a multitude of reasons' designers today are notgetting either of these kinds of feedback.In my last assignment, I saw first hand the decline of this ability in the United States.
