SECTION 1
WHAT IS
STEM?
The simplest definition is what it stands for, which is science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.
There are many organizations that are dedicated to this topic and
they define this with their own objectives. The ultimate goal of
STEM education is to encourage students to take an interest in
STEM subjects at an early age. This should be beneficial to them
when they enter the jobs market, and in turn it should benefit
the greater economy. It is a simple definition with a straight
forward goal.
Although many of the nation's public schools had already begun
a greater focus on mathematics and science as part of their
core curricula, new academies as well as existing educational
institutions took the focus one step further. Applying for, and
receiving, government and private business grants set up for
STEM education initiatives, these schools aggressively promoted
the concept with the express goal of graduating students competent
in a variety of STEM subjects.
Schools pursuing these goals explored a variety of approaches such
as smaller class sizes of 10 to 12 students with a one-to-one
student/computer ratio, inquiry-based teaching methodologies and
an active partnership with technology businesses that provide
real-world applications for STEM subjects. Other schools made
electronic textbooks, Skype and video-conferencing an integral
part of the educational experience.

STEM
FIELDS
STEM is an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The term
is typically used in the USA when addressing education policy
and curriculum choices in schools from k-12 through college
to improve competitiveness in technology development. It has
implications for workforce development, national security
concerns and immigration policy.
MINT
MINT (mathematics, information sciences,
natural sciences, and technology) has a
similar meaning.
