Disposition
STEM Education is “an integrated
curriculum (as opposed to science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics
taught in isolation)” --- driven by
• Problem solving
• Discovery
• Exploratory project/Problem-based
learning
• Student-centered development of
ideas and solutions.
The saturation of technology in most fields means that all students – not
just those who plan to pursue a STEM profession – will require a solid
foundation in STEM to be productive members of the workforce.
