Summary: |
"Focuses on the current educational system and describes the transformations needed to ensure the adequate education of future science and engineering students. Features: Offers an in-depth comparison of the education of scientists and engineers globally; Reveals unintended knowledge gaps that may arise from interdepartmental course offerings and how to address them; Covers knowledge gaps in science and engineering education that may occur in foundation curriculums and discusses identification and correction methods; Discusses professional qualifications, codes of ethics, intellectual property, and their respective roles in education. The book describes how university faculty can make the necessary changes to teach a broader range of skills, technical proficiency, teamwork, adaptability, and versatility within the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum. Also covered are approaches to provide a broader exposure to experiences desired by both academic and non-university employers to prepare students for an increasingly interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global job market."-- Publisher description. |
