Interdisciplinary STEM education is the pedagogical approach by which students learn the interconnectedness of the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Interdisciplinary STEM education also provides a platform to introduce problem-based learning, cooperative learning, expand problem-solving capabilities, and introduce students to the use of engineering design. Several research studies suggest that when students are introduced (early) to the STEM disciplines through integrated and problem-centered learning activities, they are more likely to remain engaged throughout formal education and are more likely to enter one or more of these fields as a career.
