Installing A New "Technology Literacy" Course: Trials And Tribulations
David F. Ollis
Abstract
The creation of a new technology literacy course for non-technical students is described. The author, an experienced engineering faculty member, describes his sojourn through several less-than-familiar landscapes, including the regions of "finding funding" for this non-traditional subject, "and navigating the bureaucracy" of course authorization on his campus.
