Abstract:
Efforts are underway to advance technical standards education into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) university programs. This article provides an overview of Project ISTEE: Integrating Standards into Telecommunication Engineering Education. We discuss the background and motivations behind this project and describe its tasks and deliverables. The project produces a university course in telecommunication standards and standardization processes. Evaluation results of two offerings of this course are reported and discussed. Our findings confirm that interactive research-based instruction strategies are particularly suitable for standards education. A model for standards education is developed that can be adopted by other STEM disciplines.
