Integrating the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine.

Session ID#: 82417

Session Description:
The 2018 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report: “Branches from the Same Tree: The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education” highlighted that educational programs mutually integrating learning experiences in the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) lead to improved educational and career outcomes for students. This session brings together educators from across AGU to present on their efforts focusing on the integration of STEMM curricula into degree programs and developing cross-cutting transdisciplinary experiences. We invite contributions from all aspects of the university system, from students learning within an integrated program to researchers evaluating the impact of these programs on higher education to faculty developing integrative activities. In this session, attendees will have the opportunity for discussions focused on lessons learned and the next steps for the continued developed of integrated student experiences in Higher Education.
