II. Objectives

The objectives of this Division are identical with those of the Society, as stated in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution of ASEE, with special emphasis on those objectives which pertain to the fields of technological and engineering literacy and of the philosophy of engineering.

The primary objectives of this Division shall be:

A. To promote efforts to increase the technological and engineering literacy of all citizens through the development of educational curricula, delivery approaches, and the development of assessment tools for engineering and technological literacy. Here, technology is defined as “the entire system of people and organizations, knowledge, processes, and devices that go into creating and operating technological artifacts, as well as the artifacts themselves” (Technically Speaking, National Academy of Engineering, NAP, 2002, pg 13)

B. To assert the relevance of technological and engineering literacy and to encourage the use of these concepts as a framework for teaching and learning across the curriculum for majors in engineering-related programs and for non-majors.

C. To provide a forum for the presentation and sharing of technological and engineering literacy and philosophy educational initiatives and methods.

D. To create a community engaged in technological and engineering literacy and philosophy initiatives by fostering networking and dialog among students, educators and the public.

E. To increase awareness of and participation by university and community college faculty, other educators,and industrial partners in technological and engineering literacy and philosophy initiatives and to encourage professional development.

F. To encourage the participation of non-engineering educators with backgrounds outside of engineering, as well as those with engineering backgrounds, in all aspects of the division’s mission.

G. The division seeks to synthesize and broadly disseminate lessons learned in all areas of the division’s mission.

H. Building on the division’s work in the design and development of the curriculum for technological and engineering literacy, pursue the development and dissemination of a philosophy of engineering and technology, defined as the critical study of the basic principles and concepts of engineering and technology.

I. In partnership with other divisions, this division will be part of efforts to develop a philosophy of engineering and technology education. We seek to promote and support work in this area with a special interest in joint activities.

J. The division will collaborate in areas of mutual interest with other divisions in the ASEE, and will strive towards a goal that many of the division’s sessions will be co-sponsored with other ASEE divisions and committees.
