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工作会议，特别是与应用和计算数学社区以及整个K-16课程中的数学建模相关，特别是在STEM教育上。 会议的目的是为社区设计该课程的社区开发一种协调的方法。这是与整个课程建模有关的第二个SIAM研讨会，比第一个研讨会的一些主要建议更狭窄地专注于第一个研讨会。特别是，开发了在K-12中建模的更丰富的课程，这是一个具有分层内容和基于建模的本科课程的高中建模课程。观察到的需要以更加协调的方式进行STEM教育，而不是简单地开发独特的教育课程，这些课程几乎没有或不用注意相互作用和互动。应用和计算数学（包括统计数据）（ACM）代表了这种协调的天然车辆。该项目的一个目的是使本科STEM学位课程的发展作为传统学科专业的替代方案。目的是，这将经历与过去5到10年相似的计算科学和工程计划的增长。协调基本数学，计算，统计和科学内容来支持在广泛的STEM领域的应用可能对潜在的学生及其最终的雇主具有很大的吸引力。 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，对数学和科学教育的共同核心州标准倡议的15％的可支配的15％将提供一个机会，以开发材料，以协调的方式增强整个STEM教育。在高层，可以建立一种应用和计算数学中的替代课程，并建立了综合的STEM教育经验，该课程将以一种将为STEM大学专业和职业带来更多准备的学生，从而增强先前的经验。
