Tóm tắt
This paper presents information about technological literacy classes (TLCs) for liberal arts majors, emphasizing an engineering-based approach with a strong hands-on component. Engineering-based TLCs can increase technological literacy for liberal arts students and benefit engineering and engineering technology (ET) programs at the same time. The central goal of this paper is to provide resources for engineering and ET faculty interested in developing TLCs, including a summary of successful teaching strategies, an annotated bibliography, and a discussion of differing approaches to technological literacy. The paper proposes a working definition for technological literacy (drawing on `cultural literacy' (Hirsch)). A survey of technological literacy covers C. P. Snow's The Two Cultures, the New Liberal Arts (NLA) Program, and the Science/Technology/Society (STS) movement. The paper suggests formation of an ASEE group to specifically address technological literacy as a liberal art.
