critical thinking and the ability to apply new knowledge topractice.BackgroundUnderstanding how to improve Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) educationhas been an ongoing topic of interest for many national leaders in education in recent years8-17.Since 2009, when the “Educate to Innovate” campaign was launched, improving STEM educationhas become one of the top priorities for the U.S. government calling for a fundamental change inhow STEM disciplines are approached18. For many years, educators have been actively involvedin a wide variety of research initiatives trying to develop and implement innovative learningenvironments, tools, and methodologies to maximize the effectiveness of the teaching and learningmodels used in STEM

Providing thistraining is perhaps one of the most important responsibilities resting with our educators. All too oftenstudents ‘pick up’ problem solving skills through experience or as a bye product of doing exercises inmathematics or science classes. Watching the teacher or the textbook author plow through someproblem situations can also lead to some lasting spin-offs.” Herbert A. Hauptman, Nobel Laureate inChemistry.

All the students also recognized that there is aneed in their training to become successful professionals in the clinical field to address issues thatare less technically oriented, but focused on their other human and interpersonal skills.
