Primary and secondary school education in Pakistan has virtually no component, module or dedicated course to enable students to learn and practice drawing as a skill. However, many aspiring young people join architectural studies and are exposed to challenges that are common in this discipline. The major obstacle is the lack of sufficient background to help in creative thinking and design process. Despite the struggle, a sizable number of students perform well in the Basic Design Studio and later phases of work. This paper deals with the concepts and methods used in training the fresh minds towards architectural realm and explores the commonly found factors responsible for adequate performance and later stages of work in design studios. The methodology of this research is based on observation and experience gained after conducting basic design studio for couple of years at the Department of Architecture and Planning, NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, Pakistan. In the later part of the research, a survey was conducted to evaluate the course via student feedback in the form of questionnaires, in order to understand the role of Basic Design course in helping students’ creative thinking and approach towards design solutions. Lastly, interviews were conducted of various basic design instructors in order to analyse their experience and pedagogy of teaching students who have no background in fine arts studies. Key Words: Basic design, non-art background, design exercise, design pedagogy

Engineering Pedagogy

This paper sets out to challenge the common pedagogies found in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education with a particular focus on engineering. The dominant engineering pedagogy remains “chalk and talk”; despite research evidence that demonstrates its ineffectiveness. Such pedagogical approaches do not embrace the possibilities provided by more student-centric approaches and more active learning. The paper argues that there is a potential confusion in engineering education around the role of active learning approaches, and that the adoption of these approaches may be limited as a result of this confusion, combined with a degree of disciplinary egocentrism. The paper presents examples of design, engineering and technology projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of adopting pedagogies and delivery methods more usually attributed to the liberal arts such as studio based learning. The paper concludes with some suggestions about how best to create a fertile environment from which inquiry based learning can emerge as well as a reflection on whether the only real limitation on cultivating such approaches is the disciplinary egocentrism of traditional engineering educators.

Stimulation Of

The artistic deformation in children’s art is done unconsciously. It is observed in the change in the shape, proportion and color of an object or object. This is due to the exceptional desire of the child to convey greater expressiveness of his drawing, emphasizing the most important image for him. The deformation characteristic of this age period conveys a uniqueness and uniqueness of the children’s drawing. The use of specific methods of fine arts contributes to the stimulation of creative imagination and the manifestation of individual inclination to different ways of deformation. Stimulation of creative thinking increases the expressiveness of children’s fine arts. appearances.

Scientific research in the engineering and technology domains plays a centric role in realizing sustainable development in Africa. In particular, a multidisciplinary research (and sometimes even cross-disciplinary) approach is required when tackling Africas complex challenges such as poverty, climate change, energy access, water resources management, energy-water-food nexus, sustainable urban environment, cybersecurity, and others. To advance this research, African researchers should be empowered to conduct high-quality research and communicate their findings and recommendations to all stakeholders in open-access platforms. Building on the above, the Sudanese Researchers Foundation (SRF) is proud to announce the launch of the African Journal of Engineering & Technology (AJET); our inaugural open-access peer-reviewed journal focusing on engineering, technology, and sustainable development.

Twenty First Century Skills

The study aimed to examine the role of colleges of education in Yemeni universities in developing the twenty-first century skills among students. The skills include critical thinking and problem-solving; creative thinking; effective communication and cooperation with others; flexibility; adaptation and change management; self and continuous learning; leadership and working with a team; taking responsibility and making decisions; using technology efficiently; understanding and interacting with diverse cultures; and work and self-management. The followed the descriptive and analytical method, using a questionnaire that was distributed to a random sample of (408) students selected from the fourth level of the Faculties of Education in four public universities: Sana'a, Hajjah, Amran, and Hodeidah.  The study results revealed a medium role that the colleges of education in Yemeni universities play in developing the twenty-first century skills among their students. The skill of effective communication and cooperation with others received the highest attention, while the skills of work, self-management and the skills of using technology efficiently received the lowest level of attention.  The study concluded with a number of conclusions, including absence of a vision for the challenges and requirements of the twenty-first century and lack of support provided to colleges to purchase facilities and equipment. The study recommended that the colleges of education should pay more attention to developing the twenty-first century skills, especially work and self-management skills and the efficient use of technology. Keywords: role, education college, skills, twenty-first century, Yemeni universities.

Short Time

It was our plan that this meeting should consider some aspects of the changes in material civilization and intellectual life in Britain and the United Provinces resulting from the union of the two Crowns in 1688. A parallel meeting in Amsterdam will devote more attention to politics and the fine arts. In a short time it is impossible to cover many topics and we thought it right to pay some attention to the role of the Stadtholder while not omitting the two great scientific figures of this age, Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton. It is tempting to suppose that the replacement of James II on the throne of England by William and Mary, as it ensured the ascendancy of Protestantism, so also it introduced a strong Dutch influence to replace the Frenchification characteristic of the reigns of Charles and James. Did not William, in stemming the territorial expansion of France, also check its cultural hegemony? So far as Britain is concerned the proposition is dubious, for our cultural links with The Netherlands were already strong before 1688, not least because of earlier migrations and the relationships formed during the Civil Wars and their aftermath. In the scientific realm one thinks especially of van Schooten and the Dutch mathematical school, of De Graaf, Swammerdam, Leeuwenhoek and especially Christiaan Huygens.
