 Diderot, the Mechanical Arts, and the Encyclopaedie: In Search of the Heritage of Technology Education
Inquiry into the heritage of technology education needs to be conducted with due respect for the historiographical controversy of drawing connections between the past and present.
For example, the term "technology" was rarely used in the eighteenth century; the term "mechanical arts" encompassed an important part, though not all of what we now call "technology." Thus, the occasional use of "technology" here is intended to bridge the gap for modern readers while retaining respect for the differences of the past.
However, in the United States, the historical awareness of technology education is still heavily influenced by works such as Bennett (1926, 1937) and Martin and Luetkemeyer (1979), which preceded the shift from industrial arts to technology education in the early 1980s.
