Application of the STEM Program to Corrosion Engineering

Application of the STEM Program to Corrosion Engineering
Available for download

In the 1990’s, the National Science Foundation realized that the United States needed to combine science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a single effort. So, they created the acronym “STEM” to describe the application of those combined disciplines in both education and in the workplace, in order to help solve the country’s most difficult technological problems. Several population segments have been targeted for STEM learning and application.

In the 1990’s, the National Science Foundation realized that the United States needed to combine science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a single effort. So they created the acronym “STEM” to describe the application of those combined disciplines in both education and in the workplace, in order to help solve the country’s most difficult technological problems. Several population segments have been targeted for STEM learning and application. Science and engineering students in colleges and universities are obvious candidates to advance the STEM approach. Likewise, practicing engineers that need new approaches to perform their jobs can contribute to advances in applying STEM while enhancing their own capabilities and value. Also young students from middle school through high school, and particularly women, can be educated in STEM principles and become the vanguard of a new wave of scientists and technologists. Education in STEM features hands-on experimentation ranging from very simple experiments to more complex ones, to generate new comprehension and application of STEM learning. The STEM approach is particularly applicable to the corrosion world. The approach can create basic understanding of corrosion science through hands-on STEM learning. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) instituted a STEM Program that focuses on developing solutions to critical defense technology-based problems. The DoD STEM Directorate and the DoD Corrosion Policy and Oversight Directorate are now engaging and partnering in areas of mutual interest. This paper provides details of the DoD corrosion STEM program, provides examples of STEM experiments at different levels, and describes challenges in applying STEM to resolving difficult corrosion problems worldwide.
