Description
The growing educational failures of the colleges and universities of the United States are a major concern of the 1990's and are not showing a great deal of promise for the 21st century. The overabundance of committee reports that describe and prescribe for our schools, the evidence presented in those reports, and the analyses that are offered combine to form a persuasive argument that there is a profound crisis (AACC, 1995).
Technological developments have so outpaced the understanding of it provided by almost all college programs that we have become a people who are unable to comprehend the technology we invent and the impact it has on our ethical and moral fiber--our very way of life. We are unable to measure, much less control, the capacity of our technology to violate the natural laws of our world.
Technology has become a permanent, pervasive, and significant part of our culture. Yet it is a rare event to find a curriculum that exposes one to some appropriate combination of technology, innovation, the humanities, and the social sciences.
