Abstract
Courses dealing with the history of technology and its social impact are offered at many colleges and universities in various forms and, often, by engineering departments. Developing and teaching these courses can be enhanced by wise use of video and print resources. This paper explores many of these materials, emphasizing those that are useful to the professor in the classroom, and suggests a general strategy for teaching that emphasizes technological innovations and their social consequences.
