technological literacy for a wide audience byteaching courses on engineering topics to non-engineering majors.Such courses for non-engineering majors can take various forms.7-9 Courses can take the form ofa traditional lecture, with the engineering professor lecturing on technical subjects to a largegroup of non-majors. While such a course has the advantage of exposing a large number ofstudents to some science and engineering knowledge, unless well-done, such a course is likely tohave minimal impact on the overall understanding of technological or engineering principles andpractices for most of the students. Courses could also be centered on laboratory experiments,which allow the students to gain hands-on experience with engineering principles
