SCHOOLIntroduction Current trends and future projections of engineering in the United States indicate a needto better inform, teach, recruit and prepare our youth for the technological age in which we live.In the book Technically Speaking, Why all Americans need to know more about technology, thefirst recommendation made by the National Academy of Engineering and National ResearchCouncil was to further “encourage the integration and increased study of technology in the K-12content, standards, curricula, instructional materials, and assessments” (2002, p. 105). TheAcademy also recently published, Educating the Engineer of 2020, which includesrecommendations of “supporting efforts to improve math, science, and engineering education atthe K-12 level

Significance of this studyThe academic, medical, and business communities in today’s world need informed professionals,who are aware of emerging technological strategies to communicate and disseminateinformation. This pilot study focuses on communicating and disseminating state-of-the-artlaboratory procedures, such as non-viral gene therapy for lung diseases. In order for thebiotechnology professor or researcher to communicate the specific Electroporation (EP)procedure to others, it is helpful for the content expert to know what media arts

Many of the world’s leading technology companieshave bombarded the airways with TV ads about the “smarter planet” or similar terms that describethe emerging ecosystem of this new paradigm. These technology companies believe that thisnewest application of the Internet will be the driving force behind their success for the foreseeablefuture. Most call this rapidly evolving development the Internet of Things or IoT (see

In other words, TET focuses on how to design a near-optimumnetwork to accomplish the required business functions within the prescribed budget, and how tointerface and manage the equipment and software that comprise that network. In this way, TETdiffers fundamentally from EET, which focuses on the design of the
