The Lack of Research Opportunities for Community College Students

One of the most critical components of a STEM undergraduate’s life is research. Majority of STEM majors at universities do some type of research relating to their major or their personal interests. However, at the community college level, research opportunities are scarce and limited to a few students per

Although these courses had the name engineering in the title, I would soon come to realize these courses were not recognized by many universities including

The 'T' in STEM

The 'T' in STEM

I’ve always felt the ‘T’ in STEM has been overlooked. The ‘T’ stands for Technology, but since I’ve grown up it’s the most rarely talked about. Technology is the cornerstone of progress in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Its integration has revolutionized the
