The section "Example STEM Fields" feels very disorganized. Instead of picking some common STEM fields, but not attempting to name them all (because that would be very difficult) perhaps it would be better to have the fields be more vague and let the articles they are linked to better explain the subcategories. For example, perhaps it would be more helpful to list categories like Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Geological and Planetary Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, etc. That way the article can be more clear about what STEM subjects cover, and let the articles that these topics link to explain the specifics.

We may even add various competitions being held worldwide which inspires and engages students and others in STEM activities.

In the UK, there is a "STEM" programme intended to rationalise and improve the provision of support for students in the UK, in particular to encourage the teaching of STEM subjects and to encourage students to seriously consider careers in this area. There is a section in the UK Department of Education Website describing this (see http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/stem/). Delivery of this is via "STEMNET", which provides resources for students and teachers, aided by a network of "Ambassadors" who are able to provide real world experience and inspiring role models for young people (see http://www.stemnet.org.uk/home.cfm). At the very least, this item in Wikipedia should be updated to include the significant UK initiative of the same name. Djwaddell ( talk) 12:30, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
This page on the National Science Foundation website is linked to from STEM fields#Definition and STEM fields#National Science Foundation, as if it gives a definition of STEM. However it only mentions STEM in terms of fellowships for STEM eduction and learning research. It doesn't say that all the fellowship programmes are STEM programmes. I'm thinking of removing this source from the article.

STEM education should be a larger priority in America’s schools to ensure student’s future economic prosperity, drive U.S. innovation, and increase U.S. competitiveness in the global market. The American education system is lagging behind many other developed countries in science and math. American students must be taught new, exciting curriculum. The Common Core Standards are a recent change to the math bar that is now set in most states and will certainly help to bridge the gap, but it will not be a quick fix. The national innovation of the country depends on bright new thinkers who are currently in the United States education system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.83.124 ( talk) 22:49, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

What indicates that the various other acronyms, especially including art or religion (which is almost exactly against the original meaning of STEM) notable? Just because one organization has used the term, that does not mean it is relevant to an article of STEM. The section seems prone to editors tacking a list of more acronyms.

The article lead claims that before STEM, it was called SMET. But it also says the change was from METS to STEM. Well, was it SMET or was it METS or was it both? More importantly, it needs to be sourced.
This should not be difficult if reliable sources are available that confirm SMET (or METS) saw significant use. It is then a simple matter of checking the dates of each usage, and rewriting the lead to match. CapnZapp ( talk) 09:33, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
At present, the opening section makes no sense; "Science, technology, engineering and mathematics" is not an acronym for itself. STEM is an acronym, but the whole phrase isn't.
The section needs to be edited or rewritten.

Hello,
Is it possible to post these updates to the STEM section:
STEM education updates
The Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) announced the release of the 5-year Strategic Plan by the Committee on STEM Education of the National Science and Technology Council on December 4, 2018. The Plan is entitled “Charting a Course for Success: America’s Strategy for STEM Education.” https://ssec.si.edu/stemvisions-blog/charting-course-success-americas-strategy-stem-education The objective is to propose a federal strategy anchored on a vision for the future so that all Americans are given permanent access to premium-quality education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In the end, the United States can emerge as world leader in STEM mastery, employment, and innovation. The three goals are building strong foundations for STEM literacy; enhancing diversity, equality, and inclusion in STEM; and, preparing STEM workforce for the future. https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2018/12/19/envisioning-stem-education-for-all.html
Thank you.

STEM education updates
The United States government released its latest STEM strategy in education focusing on STEM leadership and emphasizing diversity, inclusion, and workforce development. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/STEM-Education-Strategic-Plan-2018.pdf In December 2018, the Committee on STEM Education of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) filed its report entitled, “Charting a Court for Success: America’s Strategy for Stem Education. The goals of said strategy are to build strong foundations for STEM literacy, increase diversity, inclusion, and workforce development in STEM, and prepare the STEM workforce for the years to come. https://thejournal.com/articles/2018/12/04/trump-administration-sets-five-year-strategy-for-stem-education.aspx The Strategy follows and encompasses the same pitch of the Obama administration issued in 2013. It was issued as answer to preconditions of the America Competes Reauthorization Act of 2010. https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/5116 The NSTC integrates four approaches to achieving its goals. The fourth is to operate with accountability and openness. It calls for coming up with a federal implementation plan as well as tracking progress by federal agencies in accomplishing targets. This STEM strategy can inspire STEM initiatives of local and state education initiatives. https://eos.org/articles/white-house-releases-stem-education-strategy Based on the 2018 indicators of the National Science Board and Engineering, the basic STEM skills of Americans have improved during the last 20 years although they still trail other countries. https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2018/nsb20181/
IMVHO the very title of STEM fields is asking for confusion, that then makes the article a hodgepodge and a mix of irrelevant data.
STEM has been so far a rather confusing cultural artifact. This article is just a proof of that.
I'm afraid I am not bringing solutions yet - however, I do hope the listing of some of the problems might help, maybe, into making this a truly relevant article. Notice particularly this note by Donahoe [The Definition of STEM? | http://www.todaysengineer.org/2013/Dec/STEM-definition.asp] also, Bybee [Advancing STEM Education: A 2020 Vision | http://www.iteea.org/Publications/TTT/sept10.pdf]
There seems to be some agreement that Dr. Ramaley coined the STEM acronym when in the NSF, somewhere before 2004 [ https://atecentral.net/ate20/22917/ate-had-role-in-the-naming-of-stem]. The Rising Above the Gathering Storm paper dates from 2007, and appears to have become the most significant source for the vision for STEM as a dynamic entity worthy of attention of policy makers, and the origin of much of the political/budget impact. (To respond to this, in 2001, the National Research Council, which is part of the National Academies, put forth broad and comprehensive definitions of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in a book titled "Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Education Assessment." While I can find references before that to STEM as being science, tech, eng., and math, I cannot find anywhere that defines these terms before 2001, though they may exist. Regardless, the NRC is a pretty solid source. I'm currently waiting on the book to arrive in my office; I will check who they cite for their definitions, and post back if they cite an earlier source.)

This article seems to be a bit outdated at the moment, STEM has drastically grown as a field of interest even just in the past 10 years. While the information in the article is valuable, it could use an update. Some areas of interest are that the education section does not adequately address STEM efforts in K-12 and the updates section is not incorporated into the text well. Additionally, I believe the article could use a little reconstruction in the way it is organized. As others have pointed out it is a bit US-centered. I believe that giving a more global perspective to sections such as racial and gender gaps in the STEM fields would help the article. Nstynka ( talk) 03:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

There is only one small photo toward the end of the article, depicting a woman teaching children geometry in what appears to be a stained-glass window motif. I don't think this photo necessarily adds to the strength of the section about women in STEM.

Noob here. I'm learning how to add references and started working on the [ [3]] section. I think I correctly sourced all the acronyms except the last two. I can't find anything for STREAMi or STREM. Is it OK to remove the big ugly section template since the terms have their own citation needed templates, or maybe the two terms should be removed if they can't be sourced? STEMinfo ( talk) 22:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
The short section on the gender gap in STEM in the US section of the page is particularly redundant with the Women in STEM section. The placement of this section also feels out of place as the remainder of the regions listed do not have their own versions on gender gap information. (Overall the US section though is much more filled out than any other region and it should also be addressed the difference in the amount of information for each region).
For the sake of conciseness, it may be better to remove the gender gap information from the US section and instead concentrate all information on gender gaps in the women section and lgbtq+ section. SaM1821 ( talk) 22:27, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

The article lead claims that before STEM, it was called SMET. But it also says the change was from METS to STEM. Well, was it SMET or was it METS or was it both? More importantly, it needs to be sourced.
This should not be difficult if reliable sources are available that confirm SMET (or METS) saw significant use. It is then a simple matter of checking the dates of each usage, and rewriting the lead to match. CapnZapp ( talk) 09:33, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
At present, the opening section makes no sense; "Science, technology, engineering and mathematics" is not an acronym for itself. STEM is an acronym, but the whole phrase isn't.
The section needs to be edited or rewritten.

I suggest that a section be added in order to address the under-representation of women in STEM fields. A link to Women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (United States) could also help to address this issue. Ghalmars ( talk) 02:34, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
Is it possible to post these updates to the STEM section:
STEM education updates
The Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) announced the release of the 5-year Strategic Plan by the Committee on STEM Education of the National Science and Technology Council on December 4, 2018. The Plan is entitled “Charting a Course for Success: America’s Strategy for STEM Education.” https://ssec.si.edu/stemvisions-blog/charting-course-success-americas-strategy-stem-education The objective is to propose a federal strategy anchored on a vision for the future so that all Americans are given permanent access to premium-quality education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In the end, the United States can emerge as world leader in STEM mastery, employment, and innovation. The three goals are building strong foundations for STEM literacy; enhancing diversity, equality, and inclusion in STEM; and, preparing STEM workforce for the future. https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2018/12/19/envisioning-stem-education-for-all.html
Thank you.

STEM education updates
The United States government released its latest STEM strategy in education focusing on STEM leadership and emphasizing diversity, inclusion, and workforce development. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/STEM-Education-Strategic-Plan-2018.pdf In December 2018, the Committee on STEM Education of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) filed its report entitled, “Charting a Court for Success: America’s Strategy for Stem Education. The goals of said strategy are to build strong foundations for STEM literacy, increase diversity, inclusion, and workforce development in STEM, and prepare the STEM workforce for the years to come. https://thejournal.com/articles/2018/12/04/trump-administration-sets-five-year-strategy-for-stem-education.aspx The Strategy follows and encompasses the same pitch of the Obama administration issued in 2013. It was issued as answer to preconditions of the America Competes Reauthorization Act of 2010. https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/5116 The NSTC integrates four approaches to achieving its goals. The fourth is to operate with accountability and openness. It calls for coming up with a federal implementation plan as well as tracking progress by federal agencies in accomplishing targets. This STEM strategy can inspire STEM initiatives of local and state education initiatives. https://eos.org/articles/white-house-releases-stem-education-strategy Based on the 2018 indicators of the National Science Board and Engineering, the basic STEM skills of Americans have improved during the last 20 years although they still trail other countries. https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2018/nsb20181/
IMVHO the very title of STEM fields is asking for confusion, that then makes the article a hodgepodge and a mix of irrelevant data.
STEM has been so far a rather confusing cultural artifact. This article is just a proof of that.
I'm afraid I am not bringing solutions yet - however, I do hope the listing of some of the problems might help, maybe, into making this a truly relevant article. Notice particularly this note by Donahoe [The Definition of STEM? | http://www.todaysengineer.org/2013/Dec/STEM-definition.asp] also, Bybee [Advancing STEM Education: A 2020 Vision | http://www.iteea.org/Publications/TTT/sept10.pdf]
There seems to be some agreement that Dr. Ramaley coined the STEM acronym when in the NSF, somewhere before 2004 [ https://atecentral.net/ate20/22917/ate-had-role-in-the-naming-of-stem]. The Rising Above the Gathering Storm paper dates from 2007, and appears to have become the most significant source for the vision for STEM as a dynamic entity worthy of attention of policy makers, and the origin of much of the political/budget impact. (To respond to this, in 2001, the National Research Council, which is part of the National Academies, put forth broad and comprehensive definitions of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in a book titled "Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Education Assessment." While I can find references before that to STEM as being science, tech, eng., and math, I cannot find anywhere that defines these terms before 2001, though they may exist. Regardless, the NRC is a pretty solid source. I'm currently waiting on the book to arrive in my office; I will check who they cite for their definitions, and post back if they cite an earlier source.)

This article seems to be a bit outdated at the moment, STEM has drastically grown as a field of interest even just in the past 10 years. While the information in the article is valuable, it could use an update. Some areas of interest are that the education section does not adequately address STEM efforts in K-12 and the updates section is not incorporated into the text well. Additionally, I believe the article could use a little reconstruction in the way it is organized. As others have pointed out it is a bit US-centered. I believe that giving a more global perspective to sections such as racial and gender gaps in the STEM fields would help the article. Nstynka ( talk) 03:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Shows as needing citation. Here's one http://www.mercatoreducation.com/mint-course/ Rpm13 ( talk) 06:45, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
There is only one small photo toward the end of the article, depicting a woman teaching children geometry in what appears to be a stained-glass window motif. I don't think this photo necessarily adds to the strength of the section about women in STEM. It also doesn't make sense that a sentence about gay men and their STEM representation is under the "Women" section. Ck320492 ( talk) 20:10, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Noob here. I'm learning how to add references and started working on the [ [3]] section. I think I correctly sourced all the acronyms except the last two. I can't find anything for STREAMi or STREM. Is it OK to remove the big ugly section template since the terms have their own citation needed templates, or maybe the two terms should be removed if they can't be sourced? STEMinfo ( talk) 22:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
The short section on the gender gap in STEM in the US section of the page is particularly redundant with the Women in STEM section. The placement of this section also feels out of place as the remainder of the regions listed do not have their own versions on gender gap information. (Overall the US section though is much more filled out than any other region and it should also be addressed the difference in the amount of information for each region).
For the sake of conciseness, it may be better to remove the gender gap information from the US section and instead concentrate all information on gender gaps in the women section and lgbtq+ section. SaM1821 ( talk) 22:27, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
