The STEM Education program prepares K-16 teachers to utilize digital resources to foster the innovative engagement of diverse learners associated with integrated science programs such as STEM. The courses offer a holistic overview of historical and current issues and trends impacting integrated science education while cultivating research-based strategies to improve student learning. The courses are designed to provide the educator experience with integrated curriculum utilizing the technological and didactic skill sets required for empowering 21st century learning in a global, digital society.
Students located within the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom have the option to complete a portion of this program through the National Institute of STEM Education (NISE) by pursuing a National Certificate for STEM Teaching (NCST). After completing the NCST through NISE, the certificate transfers into our program as six credits, taking the place of two courses: SCI5243** and SCI5263.**
