CCBC’s Definition of STEMSTEM Education is defined inclusively as STEM disciplines and those that speak to the applied and innovative learning that results from a holistic and integrated connection between each of those STEM disciplines. CCBC also encourages the interaction between STEM disciplines and many areas that are not traditionally part of STEM. Below are the classifications for programs as they relate to STEM at CCBC:STEM Programs or Course Series STEM Related Programs or Course Series STEM Outcomes in a Program or Course SeriesSTEM Activities and Support Initiatives
