Engineering - Other (59)Technological literacy for the general population is increasingly viewed as a necessity in a technological society. Citizens must understand what technology is, how it works, how it is created, how it shapes society, and how society influences technological development if they are to make informed decisions and choices. At a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Engineering, a framework for the design and evaluation of technological literacy courses emerged and the framework for technological literacy courses guides and informs this project. The project is refining and validating the framework and developing courses and modules based on it. A repository of technological literacy materials based on the framework is being established through this project that is easily accessible to those who wish to teach technological literacy courses across the nation. The resulting tools and teaching strategies are being disseminated broadly so that universities and community colleges can establish and evaluate technological literacy courses on their respective campuses.

工程 - 其他 (59)普通大众的技术素养越来越被视为技术社会的必需品。如果公民要做出明智的决策和选择，就必须了解技术是什么、它是如何工作的、它是如何创造的、它如何塑造社会以及社会如何影响技术发展。在美国国家科学基金会和美国国家工程院主办的一次研讨会上，出现了技术素养课程设计和评估的框架，技术素养课程框架为该项目提供了指导和信息。该项目正在完善和验证框架，并基于该框架开发课程和模块。通过该项目正在建立基于该框架的技术素养材料存储库，那些希望在全国范围内教授技术素养课程的人可以轻松访问该材料库。由此产生的工具和教学策略正在广泛传播，以便大学和社区学院可以在各自校园内建立和评估技术素养课程。
