As professionals, sometimes we have to be pushed to be apart of the change, at other times, we simply evolve into change gradually. If we are to insurethat we accomplish our goals of engineering education, we must set clear goals, define whatteaching and learning should accomplish, and then use the right tools of technology toaccomplish those goals.

Despite this long history of defending the idea that technology, far from being neutral,actually embodies certain values and biases, engineering students do not readily agree with theconcept at face value. They are much more apt to accept the simple cliché that “guns don’t killpeople; people do.” They fall quickly into the
