technologyon civilization; 2) develop the ability to respond critically to technological issues in civic affairs;and 3) contribute to an understanding of the interactions among science, technology and humanvalues.Course BackgroundThe course was originally developed at Lafayette College as a required senior colloquium forliberal arts majors, including students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Engineering Program,by an interdisciplinary team of engineers and chemists with advice from colleagues ineconomics, sociology and religion. Senior colloquia were designed as multidisciplinary capstoneexperiences with substantive focus on human values.In developing the course it was immediately recognized that technological catastrophes lendthemselves to
integration of such activities into the overall learning experiences ofstudents. Here we present a technological solution for overcoming the first obstacle. The solutionto the second obstacle, however, lies in the further transformation of the structure of engineeringcourse and curricula models—an ongoing activity in most engineering schools.Self-Assessment SystemThis paper describes a Web-based system for learning how to construct shear and momentdiagrams. The system consists of three main steps, as shown in Figure 2. The system presents tothe learner a series of shear and moment diagram construction problems. The learner responds byinteractively constructing the diagrams; the system generates meaningful feedback, which isdisplayed to the learner

Session 1761 The Built-in Bias of Technology Steven H. VanderLeest Department of Engineering, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI1. AbstractIt is widely, though not universally, accepted in the literature that technology is non-neutral, i.e.,it is partial to certain uses. However, this understanding is not widespread amongst engineeringstudents, and the perception of neutrality can have perilous societal consequences. Somepreliminary work has identified pedagogical approaches to instilling better understanding of non-neutrality in the classroom. This paper continues that
andcenters for research and innovation are located in the area. The program proposed intends toorganize activities related to technology based project development, theory related tofeasibility and risk analysis for technology based start-ups, team work, return on investment,benefits analysis, investment and return cash-flows, environmental issues, technology andsociety, etc. The program is design for a two -year degree and should be implemented in themiddle of 2002.
