In this article, we explore the imperative of incorporating sustainability principles into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of sustainable development. The integration of sustainability into STEM curriculum represents a transformative approach to education that addresses the pressing global challenges of environmental stewardship. By integrating curricula with real-world environmental problems, students are exposed to holistic perspectives, fostering critical thinking and innovation. We discuss the benefits of cultivating a sustainability mindset early in education, preparing future STEM professionals to contribute to eco-conscious solutions. Furthermore, it highlights the role of educational institutions in nurturing environmentally responsible citizens and shaping a workforce capable of developing sustainable technologies. We show the importance of integrating sustainability into STEM education to inspire a generation of learners committed to addressing global environmental challenges.

Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development

Social robots hold great promise for assisting both older adults with dementia and those in good health. Yet, little is known about how people want to interact with these robots. This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We have broken these features down into principles of robot behavior, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, while also considering factors that affect a person’s likelihood to adopt such technology. Our findings offer a starting point for refining social robots and & developing features that truly resonate with users.
