School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
The Scientific Village: An additional information about the School of STEM, including Up-to-Date News & Events.
MISSION
The School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is committed to producing leaders in the fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental health science, mathematics, physics, computer engineering, electrical engineering and select secondary science andmathematics teaching disciplines. Students desiring careers in other engineering disciplines may choose our physics-engineering dual degree program which provides flexibility to obtain both a B.S.in physics and B.S. in another engineering area offered by one of our partner institutions.
The School of STEM provides curriculum and experiences that facilitate discovery and application of knowledge in preparation for graduate studies, professional service and significant contribution to the greater scientific community. The School is organized into three departments: Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Health Science; Mathematics and Computer Science; and Physics and Engineering.This organization provides students with cross-discipline role models as educators, mentors and partners in research and the learning process.
ORGANIZATION
The association of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines into a single academic unit affords the advantage of collaboration amongst related areas. Collegial activities that extend beyond pure disciplinary boundaries expose students to the many opportunities in the mathematical, computing, physical and biological sciences, and engineering. In addition, the School of STEM structure allows for teams to form naturally, based on scholarly interests, to address new challenges and those identified by federal agencies and private organizations that emphasize projectsacross the disciplines.
