Service Learning Transforming Educational Models in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics: (STEM)2

(STEM)2

California needs more scientists, engineers, mathematicians and professionals with expertise in technology. The California State University, as the largest producer of college graduates in the state, is working for California to ensure our future workforce needs are met.

The CSU intends to increase the number of college graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors through a new and innovative program—Service Learning Transforming Educational Models in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: (STEM)2. In addition to graduating students with the knowledge and skills in the STEM disciplines, this program also intends to prepare students to apply their STEM disciplinary knowledge for the common good and to strengthen communities.

(STEM)2 is a Learn and Serve America grant-supported initiative in the CSU to promote student success in STEM disciplines through service learning.
