. Page 24.375.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Designing a Stage of “Romance” for Programs in Technological Literacy.AbstractIn previous paper in these proceedings* it was argued (a) that a liberal education that takes no account ofengineering and technological literacy cannot be by definition liberal, and (b) that programs of engineering andtechnological literacy can be designed to bridge the academic-vocational divide inherent in reports such as thatundertaken for the National Governors Association. In support of this argument a model curriculum based on theepistemologies of Macmurray and Newman was presented. It was necessarily integrated and trans-disciplinary, andit was argued that it

perspective of past technologies and how they were discovered and used. In thiscontext the two biggest technology drivers of agriculture and war are studied in detail.Throughout the course, numerous technologies are scrutinized and examined in terms of theircost versus benefit to society. The main objectives of the course were to: (a) promote awarenessof technological development, and (b) provide a rudimentary understanding of the social,political, economic, and cultural impact.The course content explores innovations and inventions associated with ancient as well as retrotechnologies in the fields of agriculture, weapons, time measurement, industrialization,transportation, communication, and the environment (Loendorf & Geyer14, 2009
