Welcome University Faculty
The preparation of STEM teachers for the nation’s elementary, middle, and high schools seems to yield the greatest benefit when performed as a collaborative effort between and among faculty from departments of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Teacher Education. The dedication and work of these faculty in the education of STEM teachers is critical to the ultimate NASA Education goal of preparing, inspiring, exciting, encouraging, and nurturing the young minds of today who will be the workforce of tomorrow.
