Comparisons: Technology Engine vs Colleges
|
|
Goals:
Objective:
Colleges/Universities: A degree which is a certification that the student has completed a number of courses
with a grade indicating the performance in those courses.
Technology Engine: An organized body of knowledge that will inspire and help the inventor to devise, build,
perfect, protect, and market their inventions.
Scope:
Colleges/Universities: Narrow scope. Courses limited to grant a limited range of degrees.
Technology Engine: Wide scope. Inventors need a wide view of science and technology to enable them
to make their inventions.
Locations:
Colleges/Universities: Buildings in fixed locations (some courses are now on line).
Technology Engine: All electronic. Either on line via the Internet or any future method of dispersement.
User Effort:
Colleges/Universities: Students must make a effort to "learn" each subject to enable them to pass examinations
in that subject.
Technology Engine: Students must only have an overview of how to access the data base. It will be a
fundamental assumption that the data base will always be available.
User Storage Volume:
Colleges/Universities: Books which are high volume and heavy.
Technology Engine: Electronic media with the goal of compressing that data and using "state of the art"
storage devices.
Production Cost:
Colleges/Universities: Expensive. Must hire "certified" teachers to teach the same material over and over.
Technology Engine: Low. Courses will be done one time and updated from time to time.
Student Cost:
Colleges/Universities: High.
Technology Engine: Low. Some courses will be free.
Accessory Material Required:
Colleges/Universities: Books usually required.
Technology Engine: No books required. The student will download the course and may store it locally
if desired.
