technology, itis very important to provide science education for schools from kindergarten to 12th gradeand even just pre-kindergarten. Especially STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) or STEAM (add Arts into STEM) education originally from the US gives us avery valuable reference and inspiration. Over twenty years before, many countries such as theUS, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etc, issued successively corresponding policies andstandards for STEM education, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of science educationand the combination of science, technology and engineering practice. Furthermore, SeymourPapert, the inventor of LOGO computer language, who is also thought as the father of themaker movement, has advocated a

IntroductionFor many, the "Information Age" arrived before we realized it, with the 1990s witnessingunparalleled growth and development of information technology. This has changed the worldaround us -- not only how we view it, but also how we interact and cope with it. Staying currentin this rapidly evolving world is a considerable challenge for those seeking to enhance their Page 5.538.1value as employees, and expand their horizons as individuals. Communications technology hashad a dual effect on us - driving the need for continuing education, and expanding ouropportunities for

feedback demonstrated that theysuccessfully navigated these obstacles. In addition, the faculty members who taught this classstrongly believed that this course followed not only the long established practices of appliedlearning at the College of Applied Science, but also fits within the traditional frameworks ofAmerican applied engineering education. Although the course was a pilot course for Honorsstudents in technology it can be incorporated in most engineering or technology curricula. It isalso possible to incorporate individual components of the course without the need to add a newcourse in already crowded programs. Leadership education using community service componentcan be used in many Humanities and Social Science courses to train

the fullpotential of infographics not only as pedagogical aids but also as a medium for fosteringcomprehensive learning.We advocate for a dual approach that involves both the creation and use of infographics byeducators, alongside teaching students to craft their own, thereby promoting an interactive andimmersive learning environment. Critical to our discourse in advocating for infographic isempirical evidence demonstrating the superior efficacy of infographics in education whencompared to traditional teaching methods. Through a synthesis of comparative studies, studenttestimonials, and specific case studies within the realm of engineering education, we conclude thatinfographics serve as a powerful catalyst for enhancing comprehension

Developing Innovation Capabilities and Competencies for Undergraduate Engineering and Technology EducationAbstract Given the exponential factoring of knowledge due to scientific and technologicaladvance, solving complex global problems will require a different way of thinking than was usedto create them. No longer are solutions bound within a domain, science or technology. Instead,solutions require a highly integrated approach across many domains, sciences, or technologies.Albert Einstein stated “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we usedwhen we created them.” Einstein was emphasizing that one’s knowledge and understanding arelimited by one’s own experience, education, and research and that the

Therefore,advancing technology in the school systems has been a significant problem. The addition ofInternet technologies brought the price point of high speed Internet connections within reach ofK-12 schools Parents, educators, and students were demanding services to be delivered via theInternet whether they were onsite or remote and using mobile and/or desktop devices (Pierce andCleary, 2016).

Developing an Educational Process for an Engineering Technology Program Henry Kraebber, Nancy Denton, John Hartin Purdue UniversityAbstract The new criteria for engineering technology accreditation by ABET known as TC2Khave been evolving for several years. The TC2K criteria create an outcomes-based assessmentprocess rather than the traditional input-based ABET assessment process. There are fundamentalchanges in the accreditation criteria that make them significantly different. These changeswarrant a new design of the processes used to prepare for accreditation. These new processesmust clearly define and embed quality and self-assessment into engineering
