With the advent of tools like generative artificial intelligence and the advancements made in technologies such as semiconductors within the past 10 years, there is immense potential for scientific innovations that help both people and the planet in the decades ahead. Yet, there is a current gap in education when it comes to developing a deep understanding of these emerging technologies and their ability to solve global challenges.
A program led by electrical and computer engineering professors at the University of California, Davis, is rethinking STEM education from kindergarten to college by focusing on experiential learning and workforce development opportunities in semiconductor technologies, information systems and data science to address this issue.
The program’s name, Broad Engagement for Students and Teachers to Advance and Reinforce Science Education, or BE-STARSE,…
