Title
A Top-Down Approach to Teaching STEM Concepts Behind Information Science and Technology to Non-STEM Students
Synopsis
Information science and technology education is required by professionals of all fields, regardless of whether they are from a STEM background, or not. This paper explores how, even though information science and technology education is built on a foundation of mathematics, even students from a non-STEM background can be provided with a basic level of information science and technology education if it is taught in a top-down fashion.
