STEM is the combination of four disciplines and has practical applications in real world context. There is a growing need for STEM programs in academic institutions as they are focused on the development of critical thinking ability, which is highly valued in the marketplace. The program also helps with the improvement of technology literacy which is necessary in all fields of our life. The benefits further extend to inform the importance of technical degrees and professions to female members of society.
