It is proposed to adapt the new version of the internationally recognized standards for engineering education the Core CDIO Standards 3.0 to the programs of basic higher education in the field of technology, natural and applied sciences, as well as mathematics and computer science in the context of the evolution of STEM. The adaptation of the CDIO standards to STEM higher education creates incentives and contributes to the systematic training of specialists of different professions for coordinated teamwork in the development of high-tech products, as well as in the provision of comprehensive STEM services. Optional CDIO Standards are analyzed, which can be used selectively in STEM higher education. Adaptation of the CDIO-FCDI-FFCD triad to undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics is considered as a mean for improving the system of three-cycle STEM higher education.

The evidence that the field of online engineering has matured is overwhelming, particularly as indicated by the number of online laboratories in operation today. The objective of this chapter is to describe several solutions of online laboratories that were built based on the MIT NI-ELVIS iLab and the collaborative development efforts it has inspired. To this end, this chapter will describe the VISIR Platform (Virtual Systems in Reality), developed at the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden, as another good example of an online workbench featuring flexible experiments. Work done at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences towards integrating VISIR-based labs on the iLab architecture will then be detailed as an indicator of future collaborative efforts.

Cooperative Venture

AbstractThis article presents a conceptual framework that participants in cooperative ventures may use to protect core competencies and proprietary information, while allowing the cooperative venture to benefit from these. While strategic alliances, in various forms, are becoming more common (Beamish and Delios, 1997), a potentially issue that often remains unresolved is how to protect your core competencies, while still cooperating openly with your partner, particularly when advanced technology is involved. It can be difficult for partners in an alliance to cooperate and openly share strategic know-how. Cooperation and openness are necessary, however, if a joint venture is to succeed. Since the success of any strategic alliance is based on cooperation, trust and an open sharing of competencies, potentially sensitive knowledge might be exposed through the joint venture. This is why many executives regard strategic alliances with reservation (Lorenz, 1992). They resist giving away core strategic competencies that might be misused in other contexts.

Educational policy is a fundamental document that guides the smooth running of any educational programme. If not properly planned, prepared and implemented, such education programme can be run haphazardly without any beneficial outcome. Any policy document that cannot be applied in any educational programme may be described as inadequate. A science or technology based policy should not consider only the advanced level technology in Nigeria but also integrate the lower or indigenous level technology; hence STI policy should not neglect the TVET indigenous technologies since TVET is seen as programme to promote skill acquisition for indigenous and advanced technology in any nation. This study, therefore, investigated the place of TVET programmes in STI policy in Nigeria. The study determined that the place of TVET in STI policy may be described as illusion, mirage or not comprehensive to the public because the policy formulation and implementation appears to neglect the adoption of low level indigenous TVET technologies in Nigeria which an average Nigerian benefits from. Theories and philosophical dicta were presented with respect to policy advocacy for TVET programmes in Nigeria. The place of TVET in STI policy is undefined in Nigeria, hence the need to properly integrate TVET section in STI policy or formulate an independent TVET policy. It is, therefore, recommended that applicable societal values in technology should be considered in STI policy for the realization of the Nigerian vision 20:2020. The STI policy making and implementation process should embrace 90% of the experts in the fields of science, technology, technical and engineering education, else the need for alternative policy for TVET programmes in Nigeria. Key words: technical and vocational education and training, science, technology and innovation Policy, indigenous technology, policy reform.

Education Process

At present, Higher education sector in Egypt plays an important role. The exponential change in technology initiates improving its services. As a result of the increased pressure to improve competitiveness, and due to COVID19 circumstances, academic institutions are motivated to adopt a system perspective, elevating strategies towards achieving E-learning. This research is mainly targeting exploring practices of E-learning in higher education, its influence on enhancing the education process and in-house customers' satisfaction (students). There’s a dissimilarity between E-learning teaching and the traditional teaching, there are many debates. Creating effective E-learning environment has become a top priority for higher academic institutions. The parameters of the E-learning system effectiveness are not revealed. The main objective of this research is to find out whether the online teaching method compared to the traditional teaching method, in different colleges of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT); will achieve a higher quality level than that created using the traditional education approach in specific. The research aims at exploring students’ perceptions towards E-Learning teaching method & traditional teaching method concerning learning environment satisfaction, quality of achievements and performance. The research approaches adopted in this study includes executing an experimental study using a quasi-experiment design to direct the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime transport (AASTMT) to different knowledge bases in instruction technology. Moreover, the findings from this research would provide evidence and add to the body of knowledge in higher education. The methodology of the research is seeking to apply E-learning to manage development and improve performance, as a starting point to assess the effect of applying E-learning on enhancing the education process. This research is the first in higher education in Egypt to hold a comparison between teaching methods and study the effect of this combination of dimensions together and analyze the E-Learning teaching method effect on enhancing education and improving quality. Finally, the research will elaborate the problems faced to improve the E-Learning teaching method as a prerequisite for higher education since the beginning of COVID19 pandemic.

To Fellows of a Society which is so justly proud of its history and traditions as is the Royal Society, it is a matter of great interest and importance that there should be an authoritative and accessible account of the mental climate which preceded and accompanied its foundation, in order that that great event may be appreciated in its correct setting of contemporary superstition, thought and endeavour. This is exactly what is provided by Dr Douglas McKie’s new edition of A. Wolf’s A History of Science, Technology, and Philosophy in the 16th and 17th Centuries . The work begins with the emergence of modern science from the fog of the middle ages, and an account of the work of its two first great exponents, Copernicus and Galileo. This is followed by the origin of the various scientific academies and a chapter on scientific instruments and their perfection. Next come the various branches of science, treated in terms of the most important contributions made by their great men. Astronomy and its progress introduces Tycho Brahe, Kepler and Newton ; Huygens, Flamsteed and Halley. Mathematics bring in Napier, Descartes, Pascal, Wallis, Newton and Leibniz, to mention only a few. Mechanics introduces Torricelli, Wren, Newton and Boyle. Light involves Descartes, Hooke, Huygens and Newton, again making only a selection of names. Chemistry is the occasion for including Helmont, Boyle, Hooke and Mayow. Biology is represented by the work of Gesner, Ray, Vesalius, Harvey, Malpighi, Swammerdam and Leeuwenhoek. Other chapters deal with electricity and magnetism, meteorology, geology, medicine and physiology. Progress in the applied sciences is shown in the fields of agriculture, textiles, building, mining and metallurgy, mechanical engineering and calculators.
