Select one of the two Discussion prompts for this discussion assignment:Option 1: Liberal Arts and STEMMany colleges and universities, including Concordia University, value a liberal arts education. In this way, students engage in studying content from a variety of areas, such as humanities, math and science, fine arts, and languages, as part of a general education core before advancing into degree-specific coursework as upperclassmen. One may argue that this general education core takes time away from STEM-focused students who could otherwise pursue STEM content and apply STEM principles and skills in a greater depth. The trade-off, however, would be that non-STEM-focused students would never have to take another math or science class if that was not part of the requirements of their major.Reflect on the following questions as you formulate a substantive, 2-3 paragraph response:Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.An intentional emphasis of this concentration in STEM education is to engage in regularly applying scientific, technological, engineering, or mathematical principles or skills in your classroom or daily work. Drew (2011) writes: “Encouraging and improving university research is an essential part of expanding America’s capabilities in STEM fields. We must optimize both the quality of the research and the opportunity for all students, regardless of geographical location, to learn from experienced researchers” (p. 194).Reflect on the following questions as you formulate a substantive, 2-3 paragraph response:Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research.Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
