      title = {Converting STEM into STEAM programs : methods and examples  from and for education /},
      abstract = {This book examines the push and pull of factors  contributing to and constraining conversion of STEM  (science, technology, engineering and math) education  programs into STEAM (science, technology, engineering, math  and arts) education programs. The chapters in this book  offer thought-provoking examples, theory, and suggestions  about the advantages, methods and challenges involved in  making STEM to STEAM conversions, at levels ranging from  K12 through graduate university programs. A large driving  force for STEM-to-STEAM conversions is the emerging  awareness that the scientific workforce finds itself less  than ideally prepared when engaging with so-called 'wicked  problems' -- the complex suite of emerging, multifaceted  issues such as global climate change, social injustice, and  pandemic diseases. Dealing with these issues requires  cross-disciplinary expertise and the ability to insert  technical and scientific understanding effectively into  areas of public planning and policy.},
