Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is a broad term used to group together these academic disciplines. This term is typically used to address an education policy or curriculum choices in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns (as a shortage of STEM-educated Americans can reduce effectiveness in this area) and immigration policy. The science in STEM typically refers to two or more of three major branches of science:
formal sciences, of which mathematics is an example, along with logic and statistics;
natural sciences, including biology, physics, and chemistry;
social sciences such as: psychology, sociology, and political science.
