This paper discusses current trends in the Maker movement and educationallearning theory; presents efforts at UMass Amherst to combine these concepts to engage studentsin STEM fields by also incorporating art; and discusses some the challenges and opportunitiesfor this model. An underlying goal of the work is to identify the key elements of the Makermovement, which may help engage underprivileged youth as well as retain undergraduates inSTEM fields.Institutional designs of makerspaces and makerspace networksA Makerspace can mean many things, but in this context we are describing a physical spacewhere people with an interest in

Nevertheless, severaldepartments offered end-course. The Birmingham project was established to examine theviability of these courses primarily from the perspective of learning, and the supply ofstudents and industrial places. A comparative study of two structures offered by theDepartment of Metallurgy at Battersea CAT was undertaken by Hornsby-Smith [10].The second objection put forward by G. S. Bosworth was that the curriculum was orientedtoward the needs of academia and not industry. It did not, therefore, produce a different kindof technologist [24].

They even call it “Humanitarian Engineering as aMatrix of Care and Ethics” [27, p.5].We think that Human-Centred Designing is indeed a form of Prosocial Behaviour and that itis directly linked to exercising engineering ethics, and so, would therefore like to explicitlyaddress the link(s) between personal values and ethical practice and judgement in thefollowing

Aspiral curriculum describes an approach to the design of the curriculum that is built on thisidea. Thus, in this example the students meet the concept on several occasions during theschooling and on each occasion more material is added to the understanding of the concept.Graduate student teachers including scientists and engineers find it difficult to defineattributes and values but the evidence is that when they are forced to think about thedominant features of a concept they find it to be an aid in the planning and implementation ofa lesson.

A rational approach to introductory computingis based on the real needs of students and professionals. These should be assessed throughsurvey, study and evaluation, and then used as the basis for curriculum design. We believe wehave done this.There have been tendencies across the US to go in one of two directions when it comes tointroductory computing for engineering students:1) The "tools" approach. Here, the focus is on the built-in capabilities of a number of software packages. Students solve a variety of engineering problems within the confines of the software’s menu options.
