Title A name given to the resource How Sputnik changed U.S. education Subject The topic of the resource How Sputnik changed U.S. education Description An account of the resource Sputnik was the first artificial satellite which was launched in 1957 by the Soviet Union. This launch “signaled the opening salvo in another phase of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union” (National Geographic Society). Due to this launch, the United States tried to “enact reforms in science and engineering education so that the nation could regain technological ground it appeared to have lost to its Soviet rival” (Powell). According to Powell's article, congress responded a year later with the National Defense Education Act, which increased funding for education at all levels, including low-interest student loans to college students, with the focus on scientific and technical education.
