Abstract
Converging technologies present challenges to each of the stages in education – primary/secondary, community/technical college, undergraduate, graduate, and continuing. Three case studies – computer and information science and engineering, materials science and engineering, and nanoscale science and engineering – are discussed to examine various approaches to standards and norms.
