After seven years of working on creating, implementing, advancing, and expanding technological literacy classes at our institutions, and studying and working with programs at other institutions, we have found many interesting issues, challenges, and questions facing our efforts. This paper is an attempt to review the goals, objectives, achievements and possibilities for future developments. However, most importantly this paper focuses on the relationship between classes in technological literacy and engineering. In particular this paper focuses on students' reflective practices utilized in the classes. Is it possible to learn from the developments and implementations of one to improve the other? Should there be a connection between these two sets of classes? On the surface there seems to be very little in common except basic concepts. However, upon further reflection one can find identifiers, trends and experiences from one that can help develop the other. The main objective of this paper is to explore the relationship and introduce findings and possibilities.
