It is being said that STEM Education or STEM-integrated learning of any topic of different disciplines promotes interest in a range of different contemporary careers for start-ups and entrepreneurship.
Also, the fast changing technology demands that education should develop students and affect societal changes which make citizens STEM-literate and pro-sustainability. Thus, the STEM education must subscribe for sustainability through renewable and alternative sources of energy and their precise and efficient use.
It is being suggested that STEM education pedagogy consists of 'project method'; 'problem solving approach'; and collaboration to learning along with technical communication
The content for STEM education must revolve around specifics aspects of STEM subjects.
Science: Scientific concepts, principles and laws; scientific experiments related to the concepts; doing research on the historical development of discovery of concepts and their use.
Technology: Study of various gadgets, instruments, tools and devices that make operations, actions and operations effective and efficiency by making use scientific concepts
Engineering: Meeting the challenges of design and platforms to make changes in machines and instruments to provide precision and efficiency
Mathematics: Technical and statistical analysis of observation and information (data) to eliminate errors and improve quality of solutions, outcomes and products
Teachers must do some lesson studies by creating collaborative research lessons of one-hour to get a hang of STEM Education Practically
