From the discovery of the uses of fire tothe transformative basic research that is the basis for space exploration, humans have translatedscientific research into technological innovations that have advanced society.To address the complex challenges faced by our planet and its inhabitants, many studies over thelast fifteen years have pointed to the need for those formally trained in the science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) disciplines to be more broadly and flexibly educated to meet thedemands of the 21st century.
