STEM

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math.
It is a term used to describe these four important areas of study and work. It’s often talked about in schools and education, focusing on teaching these subjects because they are really important for many jobs and for the country’s safety and progress. The idea is that having more people skilled in STEM is good for the job market and keeps the country strong and secure. It also affects decisions about letting students and workers from other countries come to learn or work in these fields.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – Wikipedia

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is an umbrella term used to group together the distinct but related technical disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The term is typically used in the context of education policy or curriculum choices in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns (as a shortage of STEM-educated citizens can reduce effectiveness in this area), and immigration policy, with regard to admitting foreign students and tech workers.[1]
