STEM
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is a broad term used to group together these academic disciplines. Because these things are never straightforward, there are also dozens of alternative versions of STEM (including STEAM, STREAM and METALS).
Instead of training students in any one of these domains, STEM combines all four in an interdisciplinary and applied approach, so as to better equip students to have a career and considering real-world applications.
Here’s a list of some of the many courses considered as STEM:
- Aerospace engineering
- Astronomy
- Biochemistry
- Biology
- Chemical engineering
- Chemistry
- Civil engineering
- Computer science
- Electrical engineering
- Mathematics
- Mechanical engineering
- Physics
- Psychology
- Statistics
