Articles refer to teaching at various different levels from kindergarten to graduate school, with sections on teaching: geologic time, space, complex systems, and field-work. Each section includes an introduction, a thematic paper, and commentaries.
The goal of this study was to assess the value and feasibility of developing and implementing content standards for engineering education at the K-12 level. Content standards have been developed for three disciplines in STEM education-science, technology, and mathematic-but not for engineering. To date, a small but growing number of K-12 students are being exposed to engineering-related materials, and limited but intriguing evidence suggests that engineering education can stimulate interest and improve learning in mathematics and science as well as improve understanding of engineering and technology. Given this background, a reasonable question is whether standards would improve the quality ...
Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science ...

This book covers a wide range of topics such as mathematical modeling, computational methods, simulation techniques in engineering, and their applications in environmental sciences. It begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of mathematical modeling with subsequent sections delving into various simulation techniques, including numerical methods, statistical modeling, and bio-mathematical modeling. It also explores the application of these techniques in addressing complex environmental problems. Features: Covers mathematical and computational modeling techniques for simulation in engineering, mathematical, and environmental domains Explores intelligent techniques and simulation methods to enhance accuracy and efficiency in modeling and simulation Includes practical applications and studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of techniques in real-world scenarios Incorporates pertinent newly developed methodologies and applications Discusses CFD software tools like Fortran, MATLAB®, and Mathematics This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in computer engineering, applied mathematics, and applied ecology.
Anthropogenic influences to the earth's system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and lithosphere, represent a serious challenge to our planet's ecosystems and natural environments. Bioclimatology, hydrology, bio-hydrology and eco-physiology are important scientific research areas with wide application to environmental protection, forestry, agriculture and water management, and protection against natural hazards including droughts, floods, windstorms, weather extremes, and wild fires. Bioclimatology helps to better understand the causes and impacts of natural hazards and how to prevent them. Improved knowledge of natural hazards is a vital prerequisite for the impl...
