A modular approach can also be usedto emphasize the same foundational math and science knowledge and skills in different coursesin an applied technology context. This approach reinforces basic skills in a meaningful way.Many types of modules (content, length, cost etc.) can be used at the secondary and post-secondary level with few changes. There are also a large number of STEM (science, technology,engineering and mathematics) courses at both levels that are appropriate

The “Energiewende”program can be seen as an archetypal example of the complex interaction between technology,economic, and socio-political domains requiring an E3-systems thinking.To date, traditional engineering education is still ill-prepared to accommodate transdisciplinaryconcepts and content. Nearly 40 year ago, Linstone et al. [4] described the need for a multipleperspectives approach in their seminal paper “The Multiple Perspective Concept”.
