TECHNOLOGY is a body of knowledge and action, used by people, to apply resources in developing, producing, using, and assessing products, structures and systems in order to control and modify the natural and human-made environment.
TECHNOLOGY “The study of the human-made world.”
What is Technological Literacy? • Indiana’s Standards for Technological Literacy: Defines technological literacy as the ability to use, manage, assess, and understand technology. • Technological literacy, like other forms of literacy, is what every person needs in order to be an informed and contributing citizen for the world of today and tomorrow. • Technological literacy is more a capacity to understand the broader technological world rather than an ability to work with specific processes of it. (NAE/NRC, 2002)
Who is a technologically literate person? Understands: • What technology is • How technology is created • How the use of technology shapes society and in turn, • How society shapes the development of technology

The following is an example of student work from: Introduction to Engineering Design Course Grades 9-12
Cylindrical Volume Layout H Axis of Revolution Profile to Revolve R Hint V = r 2 H All volume formulas must include the cubic inch to fluid ounce conversion factor of 1.804.
Truncated Cone Volume Solution 1. Assign a value to RAB 2. Assign a value to HAB 3. Find the volume of cone(AB) VAB 4. In the front view, sketch the profile of the container using the above assigned values. 5. Use the dimension function to find the length of RB 6. Find the volume of cone (B) VB 7. Plug the values of VAB and VB into the formula VA= VAB - VB. This will give the volume of the truncated cone (A). *Note: If you move the position of RB upor down, it will change the volume of the truncated cone (A).
