The book discusses the Engineering process, a road map developed over time to simplify design, implementation, and testing. It is applicable across a broad range of applications, from building a cathedral, to designing ap software. One key part of the process is that it can be enhanced and modified, to incorporated new knowledge. Although the teachers are experts in their particular area, and know how to present grade-appropriate material, they may not know how to find and access the advanced resources they need, or where to get help in a particular topic area. STEM programs are seen as critically important in the education system, world-wide. It is getting to be a complex, interconnected, global ecosystem. Advances in the subject areas of STEM will take place only by those who know how to exploit this ecosystem for knowledge.
