This project supports a two and a half day working conference, on STEM Education, specifically as it relates to the applied and computational mathematics community and the infusion of mathematical modeling throughout the K-16 curriculum. The goal of the conference is to develop a coordinated approach for the community designing this curriculum. This, the second SIAM workshop pertaining to Modeling across the curriculum, is more narrowly focused than the first, based on some of the principal recommendations from the first workshop. In particular, the development of a richer curriculum for modeling in K-12, a High School modeling course with a stratified content and a modeling-based undergraduate curricula.There is an observed need to approach STEM Education in a more coordinated fashion, rather than simply developing distinct educational program streams that pay little or no attention to interactions and interconnections. Applied and computational mathematics, including statistics, (ACMS) represents a natural vehicle for this coordination. A goal of this project is consdiering the development of undergraduate STEM degree programs as alternatives to traditional discipline majors. The intention is that this would experience growth similar to that of Computational Science and Engineering programs over the past 5 to 10 years. Coordinating the fundamental mathematics, computation, statistics and science content to support application in a wide range of STEM fields may have strong appeal to potential students and their eventual employers. STEM degree programs would preserve options while not restricting choices for graduate, professional or career opportunities.Within the K-12 education, the discretionary 15% of the Common Core State Standards Initiative recommendations for math and science education will provide an opportunity to develop material that enhances the whole STEM educational spectrum in a coordinated fashion. At the upper level, an alternative curriculum in applied and computational mathematics could be established, and an integrated STEM educational experience that would reinforce prior experience in a way that would yield more and better prepared students for STEM college majors and careers would result.

该项目支持为期两天半的STEM教育工作会议，特别是因为它涉及应用和计算数学社区以及整个K-16课程的数学建模注入。 会议的目标是为设计这一课程的社区制定一个协调的方法。这是第二次SIAM研讨会，涉及整个课程的建模，比第一次更集中，基于第一次研讨会的一些主要建议。特别是，在K-12，高中建模课程与分层内容和建模为基础的本科课程的建模更丰富的课程的开发.有观察到的需要以更协调的方式接近STEM教育，而不是简单地开发不同的教育程序流，很少或根本不关注互动和互连.应用和计算数学，包括统计学，（ACMS）代表了这种协调的自然工具。该项目的一个目标是consdiering本科STEM学位课程的发展作为传统学科专业的替代品。其目的是，这将经历类似于计算科学和工程计划在过去5至10年的增长。协调基础数学，计算，统计和科学内容，以支持在广泛的STEM领域的应用可能对潜在的学生和他们的最终雇主有很强的吸引力。STEM学位课程将保留选择，同时不限制研究生，专业或职业机会的选择。在K-12教育中，数学和科学教育共同核心国家标准倡议建议的15%将提供一个机会，以协调的方式开发增强整个STEM教育范围的材料。在较高层次，可以建立应用和计算数学的替代课程，并提供综合的STEM教育经验，以加强以前的经验，从而为STEM大学专业和职业提供更多更好的准备。
