The Korean STEAM education pursues a convergent human resources education, but there are shortcomings associated with it due to the fact that it excludes the Humanities in its curriculum. This study embodies the accomplishments from the design and field application of the STEAM education model that has added Humanities fields (history, geography,…

The author implies or mentions in general that many factors, such as economic, cultural, psychological and political, all interacting with one another, determine the state of society and more specifically that of our environment. Basically, however, he attempts to identify how engineering and technology fit into the situation. He states, as a…

Reviews and discusses objectives of the humanities and social science (HSS) component in undergraduate engineering programs, examining variations in HSS requirements among engineering disciplines. Also suggests some innovative approaches intended to resolve the conflict between the objectives and the current reality in engineering curricula. (JN)

Provides a viewpoint regarding the failure in engineering education to realize the most fundamental goals of liberal studies. These authors develop the theme of "transcendental engineering," a conception that bridges the gap between theoretical disciplines of the liberal arts college and practical studies of the engineering schools. (CS)

Discusses current trends in engineering education and practice. Indicates that present curricula lay a satisfactory foundation for professional activities demanded by society. (CC)

Suggest inclusion of social sciences courses in engineering curricula to provide technically trained persons with requisite skills in public service. (CC)

Describes a course offered for the freshman civil engineering major at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The rationale of developing the course which focuses on the symbolic, social, and technological aspects of the Mississippi River is included. (HM)

A lack of cooperation between engineering and liberal arts faculty members, along with inadequate student advising, has thwarted efforts to broaden the education of engineering undergraduates. A report by the Association of American Colleges, "Unfinished Design: The Humanities and Social Sciences in Undergraduate Engineering Education,"…

Describes courses designed to develop approaches for teaching engineering concepts, applied mathematics and computing skills to liberal arts undergraduates, and to teach the history of scientific and technological innovation and application to engineering and science majors. Discusses courses, course materials, enrichment activities, and…

The council for the Understanding of Technology in Human Affairs (CUTHA) is a broad-based educational group whose purpose is to promote the understanding of technology and its relationships to society. Provided in this document is a summary of CUTHA's third curriculum workshop which focused on technology for the liberal arts student. The major…

Discussed is the idea of increasing the humanities requirements for chemical engineers. Reported are the results of a survey to determine what other universities are doing about increased general education requirements. A copy of the survey is included. (MVL)

The third in a series of reports on AAC-sponsored dialogues on liberal learning is presented. This dialogue, focusing on the role of liberal learning in professional education, was designed for both teachers and administrators representing a variety of colleges of business, engineering, fine arts, and the health sciences. In the first case study,…

This document describes the development of a project called "Connections," at the Colorado School of Mines. "Connections" is an integrated series of active-learning courses and seminars that allow first-year engineering and science students to connect studies in engineering, physical science, social science, and humanities via…
