3D -printing Studying as a Component of Modern STEAM Education

The world revolves around innovation, new ideas, new products, and new problems solutions. Science, technology, engineering and STEM is the foundation for innovation. The development of STEM education is crucial to the development of modern information society. In Ukraine, the implementation process of STEAM and STEM education is gaining rotation. Courses on issues of Internet-things, embedded systems and other areas of modern engineering are introduced at universities. One of these courses is to teach students of different specialties of 3D technology printing and forming their skills in the use of this technology to create their own innovative projects within their professional competence. In Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University the curriculum and appropriate methodological support for the implementation of such course in the educational process have been created under the support of the Tempus project 544091-TEMPUS-1-2013-1-BE-TEMPUS-JPCR. Development courses on embedded systems using innovative approaches for virtual integration of science, education and industry in Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia and features of training students under these courses have been revealed in the article

The Effectiveness Of Homeland Security Training For Rural Communities: A Comparative Analysis Of Web-Based And Instructor-Led Training Delivery

The development of advanced training technologies such as Web Based Training (WBT), coupled with the proliferation of computer and Internet availability, has increased training opportunities for rural communities. This advancement is critical to meeting the training needs of emergency response personnel in rural communities who routinely face the challenge of providing continuous services to their community with limited resources. Despite the perceived convenience of WBT for emergency responders, little research has been conducted in homeland security on the knowledge acquisition of those who are trained using an electronic medium as compared to those in a traditional, Instructor-Led Training (ILT) delivery. For purposes of this study, data from two U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) courses (each offering both a WBT and ILT version) were analyzed. Through the participant data from these nationally delivered awareness and management level courses, a comparative analysis was conducted to determine if significant differences existed between the delivery modalities. Results indicate that while ILT provided greater learner outcomes on course examinations, each modality was effective in increasing both gain scores and producing satisfactory scores on the course posttest. The findings can be used to further plan and develop strategies for training this nation\u27s rural responders, especially in light of budget and human resource deficits
