Integrated STEM: A Transformational Design Model for Preparing STEM Workforce

• In Event: CS and STEM Teacher Learning

Short Description

The study addresses the issue that despite attempts at integration, science, engineering, mathematics (STEM) education still exists mostly in silos, both at universities and in K-12 education. The fragmented curriculum results in students who are incapable of integrating their STEM knowledge when confronted with challenging problems in the classroom and the workplace. This two-year NSF funded project used a unique model to design, develop, and offer two innovative integrated STEM programs at a mid-sized university.
