Increasingly international competence is considered and important skill to be acquired from an undergraduate education. Because international exchange presents a challenge to many students, there is a need to develop and implement alternative means for incorporating international and cross-cultural experiences into the undergraduate classroom. We report on the implementation of a semester-long, virtually-shared course offering between a U.S. and a Bolivian university. Since STEM (science, tec...
3-D printing has entered the consumer market because of recent radical price declines. Consumers can save substantial money by offsetting purchases with DIY pre-designed 3-D printed products. However, even more value can be obtained with distributed manufacturing using mass customization. Unfortunately, the average consumer is not technically sophisticated enough to easily design their own products. One solution to this is the use of an overlay on OpenSCAD parametric code, although current so...
The recent introduction of RepRap (self-replicating rapid prototyper) 3-D printers and the resultant open source technological improvements have resulted in affordable 3-D printing, enabling low-cost distributed manufacturing for individuals. This development and others such as the rise of open source-appropriate technology (OSAT) and solar powered 3-D printing are moving 3-D printing from an industry based technology to one that could be used in the developing world for sustainable developme...
Integrated science is an approach by which scientific concepts and principles are presented in manner to express the fundamental unity of thought in science so as to avoid undue stress distinction among the various scientific field. This implies that science must not be put into separate disciplines like physics, chemistry or biology when being presented. This means that an integrated science curriculum should not have separate discipline like physics, chemistry and biology and for that mat...
In this rapidly changing world, the quest for self-reliance through education has always been the desire of many nations especially in the present face of global economic challenge. This has triggers many countries of the world to re-evaluate their position and question their roles as nations and consider investing heavily in education. Consequently, repeated call for massive reform of current educational practices has consistently been the dream of many Nigerians and has resulted in an incre...
This paper focuses on re-constructing Technical Vocational Education for skills acquisition by TVE Students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The survival of any nation or people is predicated on the level of development. Where the standard of living is low, the nation is at risk of total collapse. Technical Vocational Education therefore is among the vital tools which can be used to develop individuals. It is field where opportunities exist for gainful employment being mostly practically...
The extent to which people can take full advantage of the benefit of technology as well as to recognise, address or even avoid some of its pitfall largely depend on their level of technological literacy. The extent to which vocational and technical education (VTE) students in Delta State sufficiently possess the knowledge of technology is not known. This situation necessitated the assessment of the level of technological literacy possessed by VTE students in tertiary institutions in Delta...
The study was aimed to identify the prospects and challenges of technology education in solving rural industrial problems in Niger state. To carry out this study three research question were formulated and three hypotheses were tested at (0.05) level of significant to guide the study. A 40 – item questionnaire was developed and used to collect data from respondents. The population consists of 70 artisans and 70 technology teachers form selected district (wushishi, lavun, bosso, lapai, katha...
ABSTRACT This study examined the effects of multimedia instructional strategies on chemistry students’ science process skills acquisition and achievement in Kano state. Six research questions and six null hypotheses guided the study. Researchers have revealed that students perform poorly in practical chemistry in spite of all that has been done to improve science teaching and learning in secondary schools. This situation could hamper their overall achievement in chemistry and therefore cou...
ABSTRACT These project work examined “prevalence of HIV among Pregnant women attending antenatal at Otto – Ijanikin Primary Health centre, Ijanikin Lagos state.” The blood of the antenatal patient were collected using the HIV kits method The result of the patient were recorded into this book. Thus it was recommended that government or private hospitals should always test their antenatal patient for HIV. Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language...

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">ABSTRACT "Times New Roman""> mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">The main aim of any electric power supply in the world is to provide uninterrupted power supply at all times to all its consumers. Although, in developing countries, the electric power generated to meet the demands of the growing consumers of electricity is insufficient, hence power instability and outage. mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Power instability o...
ABSTRACT The journey on the path of technical education started as far back as in the 1930’s when the commission on Higher Education proposed that the premises of Yaba Higher College should be converted to a technical institute. In line with this arrangement a student was expected to spend two years in general studied department and three years in an area of specialization like the mechanical engineering craft department. Responses to questions posed by the researcher have shown that mecha...
