Issues in Survey Assessments of STS Courses
This study presents the circuitous route taken in an attempt to identify an assessment mechanism for evaluating the impact of STS courses. After initially developing a survey that faculty felt only allowed for the measurement of student opinions about the impact of required STS general education courses, the faculty at Clemson University identified Aikenhead and Ryan's Views on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS) as an instrument that, when used w…

Viewing the Earth: The Social Construction of the Landsat Satellite System
Viewing the Earth examines the role played by interest groups in shaping the process of technological change, offering valuable insights into how technologies evolve. It traces the history of Landsat from its origins through the launch and use of the first few satellites, showing how a variety of forces shape the form and the eventual reception of any new technology.The Landsat earth resources satellite system was a project of The National Aerona…
The Sputniks Crisis and Early United States Space Policy: A Critique of the Historiography of Space by Rip Bulkeley
TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 839 military influence. The army and navy were closely involved in most major technical innovations of interwar aviation, such as the shift from wood to all-metal structures. Modern aviation owes not only its existence to the military but also its specific shape. The book sometimes reads like a tabloid exposé. Particularly disturbing are Biddle’s speculations on Glenn Martin’s sexuality. Biddle concludes that M…
