“…This information has allowed the development of RNAi technology that is used to screen drugs. Through RNAi technology, genes that can confer drug resistance or whose mutant phenotypes are ameliorated by drug treatment could easily be identified (Agrawal et al 2003).…”

“…When the common subjects of science in these two disciplines are taken into consideration, research in the literature of disciplines of science and social studies on the teaching of common topics is quite limited (Bybee, Powell, Ellis, Giese, Parısı and Singleton,1991;Barman, Harshman and Rusch, 1982;Sumrall and Schillinger, 2004). When the studies in each discipline investigating the teaching of science topics independently of the other discipline are examined, it is seen that these studies are also limited (Heath,1988;Gennaro,1975;Bybee1987a, Patrick andRemy 1985;Akins and Akerson 2002). However, although this issue is very important, it is seen that joint studies on teaching science in both social studies and science courses are insufficient.…”

In this research, the views of science and social studies teachers regarding teaching science subjects were aimed to determine. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The sample of the study consists of 26 teachers in total, of whom 13 are social studies teachers and 13 science teachers working in public schools in Antalya/Turkey in the academic year of 2018-2019. In order to determine the opinions of teachers, "Interview Form for Teaching of Science Related Topics" which is a semi-structured form consisting six open-ended questions was prepared, and the data collected through interviews were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results in general showed that the topic of "science", which is a common ground for social studies and science courses, was stated by teachers, and it was found out that teachers of both branches did not hold any joint meetings or work in collaboration with each other.

“…The early concept of convergence started with majors in engineering fields, and now, as knowledge of the humanities and social sciences by engineers is being emphasized more, convergence is spreading to fields beyond engineering (Ministry of Education, 2012). In this respect, the need for convergence in education is suggested as an alternative to education based on only a single subject area (Petrie, 1992;Fiscella & Kimmel, 1999;Loepp, 1999;Goodlad et al, 2000;Akins & Akerson, 2002).…”

The convergence of science, technology, the humanities, and the social sciences is an irreversible general trend. As a result, it will be important to foster employability counseling of engineering students leading to an understanding of why broad knowledge will help their employability. This study measures the effects of the convergence concept on students' employability by calculating the proportion of major classes taken in the humanities and social sciences among all college classes taken. This study analyzed the impact of convergence education as well as academic performance such as grades and study abroad experience on employability using employability-course matched data on graduates from a college of engineering from 2008 to 2015. The results showed that the higher percentage of classes taken in business administration or economics, as well as the total GPA and participation in study abroad programs, the more positive the effect on getting a job. This result reflects the reality that companies that value professional engineers are beginning to prefer that they have not only a business-oriented mindset but knowledge about other fields so that they can deal with the complexities and rapid changes in modern society. Accordingly, fostering corporate human resources philosophies that advocate for broad education will not only increase productivity in the labor market but make a great contribution to the development of colleges.
