Transforming STEM Higher Education

It is in the spirit of such change that this conference calls upon STEM disciplinary faculty and education researchers to join us in charting a daring path for STEM higher education reform that is paved with social consciousness, critical reflection, introspection, and disciplinary boundary crossing. Indeed, if we are to heed the nationâ's call for a competitively trained and diverse STEM workforce, we must first be open in acknowledging that our unique disciplinary approaches to problem .. continue reading solving, by themselves, will not fully resolve our most perplexing challenges. Examination and investigation of undergraduate STEM education reform must not only extend across multiple institutional contexts, but also be critical, intelligent, and patient, serving all student demographics and withstanding the influences of existing systems and structures of exclusion. Above all, these efforts must be unceasing.
