examine solutions of their own. Students must understand the basicterminologies associated with different technologies. Being a college freshman student issufficient to understand the content of this course.Instruction consists of:a. Topics introduced through lectures, discussions, and reading assignments;b. Students working individually and collaboratively to complete assigned tasks and projects;c. Field activities, Internet, and library research on assigned subjects;d. Oral and multimedia presentations and written assignments;e. Quizzes, midterm test, and final exam.After an extensive search the selected book for the course was “Technology and Society:Issues for the 21st Century and Beyond / 3rd Edition” by Linda S.

materials that are manipulated for human ends.These tensions can be broadly classified as related to being and practice in engineeringeducation. While Table 1 reflects issues identified at the workshop it is important to note thatnone of these tensions are isolated, i.e. they all depend on each other in the larger, inter-relatedsystem that is engineering education. (a) 2003-2005: 16 issues from 6 programs (b) 2013-2015: 46 issues from 17 programs Figure 1: Comparison between major issues identified in National Science Foundation program solicitations and descriptions separated by one decade.To understand how the issues identified by faculty participants at the workshop compare withthose that are

”, but Criteria 5 (b) on curriculum requirements does define engineering designas “a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and theengineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet [ the client’s] statedneeds.”6 As a decision-making process, engineering design includes the act of judgment7.Decisions are arrived at through judgment; it is judgment that recognizes when a decision is to bemade and the reason for making each decision1. Engineering judgment cannot be taught directly, since its application requires the contextof the unforeseen, the in-process, contingent, and indeterminate. What educators do is putstudents in situations that call for the practice of engineering

In particular how such literacy and competency are reflected in curricular and student activities. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016An Exercise to Promote and Assess Critical Thinking in Sociotechnical ContextThis work addresses a practical means to more clearly link the completion of an ABET-accredited undergraduate engineering degree with critical thinking about sociotechnicalissues. An exercise has been created which can be used to develop and measure an aspectof critical thinking by engineering students in a sociotechnical context. This exercise canbe used as one possible measurement of the ability of an engineering student todemonstrate attainment of ABET
