STEM education and its impact on Instrumentation and Measurement [Guest Editorial]

This theme of the June 2018 I&M Magazine is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education, and the articles in this issue are focused on both significant social contexts related to encouraging broader participation of underrepresented groups in STEM and innovative efforts to engage students from K-12 through college levels by providing more hands-on approaches to conveying important foundational concepts in STEM. However, we also recognize STEM education is not limited to just the time period of the formal educational process. We all must remain life-long learners to keep abreast of the many, rapid changes that constantly occur in STEM fields.
