It is exactly this need for well-informed leaders andvoters that justifies and underpins the educational system in the United States, indeed in mostdemocracies, and the university system has done an admirable job of producing an educatedcitizenry by universally requiring general education courses rich in the liberal arts. That said,there is a sizable and increasingly unpardonable hole in the educational background of “typical”college graduates: their technical knowledge related to the nuts and bolts of our increasinglytechnological society is insufficient, limiting their ability to engage in a real way with decisionsvital to our future.

However, the engineering technologyprograms, because they are geographically distributed but share common curricula, have facedspecial challenges in this process. Unlike the engineering programs, which are offered in aconsolidated fashion at a single campus, the Penn State engineering technology programs areoffered at thirteen different campuses around Pennsylvania.

, inengineering education. We faculty are not, in general, explicitly trained to be experts on this sideof engineering. A strategic piece, which makes an idea creative, usually is analogic thinking --transferring from some other domain.18 Yet this process is a glimmer, always weaker than anymore specific problem solving process which is known to work. In school, we more often arerewarded for knowing or inventing a straight-line solution process. Analogic problem solving isalmost indistinguishable from "guessing," which tends not to be rewarded in engineering classes.In favor of slippery creativity stuff, we should point out that science does have two parts, thesystematic one where you rigorously test hypotheses, and the ill-defined one where you
