In order to maintain the United States' global competitiveness and create new and innovative solutions to solve global challenges, more and diverse numbers of STEM graduates need to be attracted and retained in technical disciplines (Committee on Prospering in the Global Economy of the 21st Century: An Agenda for American Science and Technology, 2007). According to the U.S. Department of Education (2015), current national statistics reveal that there continues to be a great shortage of math and science teachers in comparison to the number of students who will actually opt for STEM-related careers. As such, solutions to global challenges will require a new scientific workforce equipped with a skill set of new technology and interdisciplinary thinking, in a culture that is increasingly embracing STEM concepts as a vehicle to address these challenges. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the ongoing discussions among educators, employers, parents, and all those concerned, to seek the goal of interdisciplinary STEM instruction.
