Hi Ashley,
I just wanted to thank you so much for the proposal submission! The
integration of humanities and arts within the STEM fields is a great topic.
Greg and I will get back to you shortly.
Thanks again,

Abstract:
This session will provide attendees with an overview of the National
Academies study: Branches from the Same Tree. This study examined an
important trend in higher education: integration of the humanities and arts
with sciences, engineering, and medicine at the undergraduate and graduate
level—which proponents argue will better prepare students for work, life,
and citizenship. Integrative models intentionally seek to bridge the
knowledge, modes of inquiry, and pedagogies from multiple disciplines—the
humanities, arts, sciences, engineering, technology, mathematics, and
medicine—within the context of a single course or program of study. This
movement in higher education raises an important question: what impact do
these curricular approaches have on students? To address this question, the
National Academies formed a committee to examine “the evidence behind the
assertion that educational programs that mutually integrate learning
experiences in the humanities and arts w ith science, technology,
engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) lead to improved educational
and career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students.” The committee
conducted an in-depth review and analysis of the state of knowledge on the
impact of integrative approaches on students.
