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

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

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

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). With cloud computing becoming more and more

The teaching and learning of science should be centered on inquiry-based strategiesthat incorporate real world experiences. “From the very first day in school students should doscience…not study science.”2 Such strategies include the development of science inquiry skills,scientific habits of mind, and communication skills for dealing with the community at large. 3 Page 8.494.1 Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition
