while it has become increasingly complex for those who produce and maintain technology. It is also pervasive and an integral part of growing up and being educated. As such the need for programs in technological literacy is diminished 5. The use of information technology in the workplace and the need to prepare students for careers that use information technology has long been the cornerstone of policies for the use of TL in raising productivity. This seems indisputable, but the market is a much stronger driver than policy in achieving this. Where policy can help is in reducing the digital divide that leave students from low income backgrounds stranded in low income jobs.5 It is also helpful in
and instructors to use the technology properly. With the experience ofmanaging two different RP machines (i.e. fused deposition modeling and 3D printing), theauthors have documented a collection of failures of student projects involving RP. The causes offailure have been categorized into Dimensional, Functional, Operational, and Economical.Finally, a guideline is provided for preparation of using RP in design or manufacturing courses inhopes of helping the readers create a more enjoyable and effective learning environment.IntroductionIn recent years, an increasing number of engineering educators have adopted Rapid Prototyping(RP) as a tool to enhance engineering curricula. Commonly known as 3D Printers, RP machinesare capable of making three

: What Do They Promise And How Can They Be Used?IntroductionStudent portfolios have been listed as a possible means of assessment under the basic levelaccreditation criteria for ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)Engineering Criteria 2000. Since then, engineering educators and researchers have started to useportfolios in their teaching and are trying to explore the potentials of portfolios. Various effortshave focused on using portfolios in engineering instruction and the results of those efforts havebeen reported in the engineering education literature. This research provides educators usefulinformation on how to use or adopt portfolios efficiently in their classrooms.However, because of the diversity of the efforts to
students enter college with high levels of interestin science and engineering, their levels of preparation for college-level work, especially in mathand engineering, are so low that the majority of them drop out or change majors even beforetaking transfer-level courses. In 2008, Cañada College, a Hispanic-Serving community collegein Redwood City, CA, was awarded a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program(MSEIP) grant by the US Department of Education to develop and implement a project that aimsto maximize the likelihood of success among underrepresented and educationally disadvantagedstudents interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields.

Implications for liberal educationIntroductionAt the 2010 meeting of the Technological Literacy Division Heywood argued that “a personwho has no perception of the contribution that engineering can make to our understandings ofbehaviour and society is not liberally educated.
