This activity is meant to emphasize that there are always both positiveand negative consequences of technology, an important theme particularly of the second course.Throughout the course, the instructors tried to use historical content to develop studentspreparing to enter technical professions. For example, during one class period, students workedin small groups to investigate an engineering disaster and write a short essay addressing whatwent wrong, what ethical issues surrounded the disaster, and what the effects of the disaster werein terms of changes to government oversight, societal

The need foridentifying preconceptions is particularly true when the intended learning outcomes includedeveloping a deeper understanding of the big issues related to AI, such as its theoreticallimitations (if any), the relationship between AI and human intelligence, its ethical application,and so on. This is because students may already have strongly held beliefs about these topicsthat are not easily changed without full engagement.To begin addressing this need for identifying student knowledge about the field of AI and thefuture of technology, this paper presents two data sets that provide insight into
