One of the key components of our "Vision of a Graduate" is technological literacy.
Technological literacy* refers to one's ability to use, manage, evaluate and understand technology. In order to be a technologically literate citizen, a person should understand what technology is, how it works, how it shapes society and, in turn, how society shapes it.
Additionally, a technologically literate person leverages their inventiveness to design and build things and to solve practical problems that are technological in nature.
Technological literacy involves a vision where every person has a degree of knowledge about the nature, behavior, power and consequences of many aspects of technology from a real-world perspective.
