Design, future demand challeng

In a similar vein, PDl has unsettled STS s educational role as weU. It has challenged STS instructors to apply their conceptual tools in new ways, anticipating how the impacts of a given design decision will play out in order to contribute more directly to students visions of a future improved with technology. As with engineering approaches, PDl demands STS tools respond to and serve students solution formulation, not artificially drive it. STS instructors must continually make the case for the relevance of their frameworks, rather than assume such relevance and enforce their application.
