Introduction of this kind of concept and philosophy on engineering andtechnology should consider the backgrounds of the country. However, we believe that theintroduction of engineering and technology to non-engineering major students as well asengineering major students will promote the internationalization through theunderstanding of high technology which connect the world nowadays. In conclusion, wethink it is very useful to provide a course on engineering and technology as a part ofliberal education for the development of engineering and technology

One of the most common techniques used by instructors to demonstrate variousconcepts is by using props. While those can be effective, instructors are looking for a moredigital approach that students can learn and replicate on their own.
