STEM Digital Village

ABOUT US

The STEM Digital Village (SDV) is an online community managed by the LU STEM group. It was conceived as a result of lessons learned during the first LINC program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), as well as during years of teaching college level
STEM courses. A subsequent, Continuation NSF grant continued funding of the LINC project through 2014. The Continuation grant enabled the LU LINC team to build STEM Digital Village into the tool that was envisioned early on during the first phase of the LINC
project.

 

NOYCE STEM TEACHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

LU Noyce STEM Program graduate demonstrates STEM teaching skills

In 2014 LU, with the support of a Noyce STEM Teachers Scholarship program, undertook the mission of increasing its production of  quality STEM teachers – a national concern. The program is poised to increase Chemistry teachers by 500%, math by 300% and Biology by 100%.

LINC PROJECT

CPR-L is an innovative Teaching and Learning Process and Strategy that is aimed at resuscitating students’ learning  the analytical process of problem solving, enhancing their understanding of core course concepts, and  enhancing their problem-solving skills.

A CASE FOR STEM

Job Opportunities

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which measures labor market activity, predicts that STEM occupations are projected to grow 1.4 times faster than non-STEM occupations (10.5% STEM vs. 7.5% non-STEM) between 2020 and 2030.

Money

STEM workers who majored in a STEM field in college typically made higher salaries than those who did not: on average, $101,100 vs. $87,600. – Unites States Census Bureau. June 02, 2021.

Opportunity to Innovate

You might find that you enjoy STEM research, and could find yourself working on cutting-edge innovations that create solutions for current and future issues.
