Abstract
This thesis focuses on the relationship between art, science, and technology. The association about how technology or science influences art and how art impacts technology and science. The literature review discovered the recent development of the STEAM program, how people understood the connection among the three and how the authors and public realized the need and importance of it. To find the possible chance that public knew the secure connection and the variety of truths about how people from different fields of knowledge think about the relationship, there are two focus group interviews and two individual interviews covered in the content. For the two focus group interviews, one of them gathered students from University of Pennsylvania's mechanical engineering major and Drexel University's biomedical engineering, and the other one found students from University of Pennsylvania and Ohio State University's architecture design. For the two individual interviews, a student from School of Visual Arts, and a student from Arizona State University joined the interview. Both shared their thoughts about science and how art and design can help science to achieve the result. The two focus groups provided the results from science, technology, and design professionals, and the two individual interviews provided the outcome of how the specialists from the art field thought about science and technology. To verify the hypothesis, I sent out a survey via WeChat. The result came from 368 people who come from different countries and different majors, and it also provided the reaction from the public. Briefly, the thesis verified and strengthened the findings in the existing literature about the solid relationship between art, science and technology and the necessarily of the "STEAM" program.
