Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education: Meaningful Learning Contexts and Frameworks

The start of the new millennium has witnessed great scientific advancements that are affecting every division of people's social and economic foundations and economies. Engineering in STEM education is considered one of the main priorities that is recently emerged as a direct reflection of such scientific growth. STEM education integrates concepts that are usually taught as separate subjects in different classes and emphasizes the application of knowledge to real-life situations. For the STEM learning environments, we are specifically referring to classrooms or schools where conscious and overt efforts are made to coordinate the learning objectives and learning activities of two or more of the STEM disciplines. This research paper presented a critical analysis of contexts and frameworks for engineering in STEM education. Also, provided an engineering in STEM framework with research and practical recommendations.
