- Do we have any ideas on how to improve the STEM studying experience? (preparatory work for the 16-17 discussion)
 

Have the following things ready for presentation and discussion:

- A proposal/idea for teaching people fundamental engineering skills?

- A proposal/idae for how to incorporate sustainability into STEM educations? Project work, specific courses etc.

- Any other ideas that could be incorporated into STEM educations in general that would improve the experience?

- How can NORDTEK be used to improve the educations for the member universities?
