What are the STEM majors?

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, in which science lies in understanding the world and explaining the objective laws of nature; Technology and engineering transform the world, realize the control and utilization of nature on the basis of respecting the laws of nature, and solve problems encountered in the process of social development; Mathematics is the basic tool of technology and engineering.

STEM teaching does not simply combine science and engineering, but transforms the fragmentary knowledge and mechanical process that students have learned into a process of exploring different aspects of the world. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are mutually supportive, complementary and developing together.

Extended data

STEM course focuses on strengthening the education of students in four aspects:

1, scientific literacy, that is, using scientific knowledge (such as physics, chemistry, biological science and geospace science) to understand nature and participate in the process of influencing nature.

2, technical literacy, that is, the ability to use, manage, understand and evaluate technology.

3, engineering literacy, that is, the understanding of technical engineering design and development process.

4. Mathematical literacy, that is, students' ability to find, express, explain and solve mathematical problems in various situations.
