HENAE6021 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in our World
course introduces the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and develops an understanding of the importance of STEM in our everyday lives and recognises that STEM disciplines are interlinked and mutually supportive fields of endeavour. It will assist students to develop suitable research and technology skills to be successful in post-graduate studies. A focus on engaging contexts in STEM will be explored throughout the course. Students will be required to explore ethical issues posed in everyday life where scientific advances mean that people potentially have more choices than they would otherwise have. Creativity and innovation in STEM disciplines will be examined, with students encouraged to explore how STEM disciplines can be taught to encourage both innovation and creativity.
