Background
The National Science and Technology Council developed a 5‐year plan in 2013 to ensure that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experienced sustained growth within the United States (US). Nursing is comprised of multiple sciences that include chemistry, physics, biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and the social and behavioral sciences of sociology,...
STEM outreach continues to grow and be an effective means to inspire young minds. Finding optimal paths and methods to reach these students continues to be a focus for educators and researchers. As with any system, there is a complex network of influencing factors and stakeholders that ensure the system operates effectively. This paper examines methods to utilize stakeholders outside of the typical...
Conducting STEM outreach workshops in K-12 classrooms has been found to be an effective method to inspire young minds in these critical areas. This paper looks to see how utilizing different teaching methods can be used to optimize STEM outreach workshops. This is accomplished by presenting findings based on a workshop that is actively being conducted for STEM outreach with a focus on inventing and...
The history of science and technology has an important place in the education of STEM professionals, particularly when it comes to helping to support their desire to successfully invent, innovate, and disseminate new ideas. History, considered as one of the liberal arts, should be thought of as describing the different possibilities that had to be negotiated before arriving at the present. When presented...
We describe an experimental, project-based, integrated art and engineering course for undergraduate students currently taking place at Georgia Institute of Technology. The course is informed by our research study on the creative work practices of artists and engineers. A summary of this research and a description of the course are presented here. This work can inform K-16 STEM education, particularly...
