Poll of the Day > So I've been seeing a movement from STEM into STEAM.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Including the arts/humanities into it.

Only saw a few places talking of STEAM, but I wonder if itll be more common in the upcoming years.

That's been around for a few years. Personally, I feel like it kinda defeats the purpose of the STEM label.

Yes, most STEM students use Steam.

they want A in stem because of interaction, architecture and ux design.

First time I've heard of STEAM. What "Arts" should be included in that group of careers?

If it means arts as in language/English/Social Studies, then what is the point of the STEM label if it just includes every subject area?

^Because often, 'Arts' (such as Architecture, Design, Drawing, Drafting, Audio/Music Production, 3D/Modeling, etc) often correlate/goes hand-to-hand with the other 'Letters' (esp on the Engineering side of things) so usually you need those 'Art' skills help Make/Develop your Projects

If it means arts as in language/English/Social Studies, then what is the point of the STEM label if it just includes every subject area?

Those are 'Liberal Arts'...

Personally, I always used 'S.T.E.A.M.' instead of the other b/c it really make more sense and still be used as a 'Word' Acronym...

STEM is already a really broad set of specialties with many of them not really having a strong career path associated with them

That's not STEM, that's STEAM! Steam from all the Steamed Clams I'm cooking. Mmmmmm, Steamed Clams!
