Significance of STEAM

STEAM allows for respect and honor towards each discipline for its own intrinsic value, while recognizing the benefits generated through interdisciplinary collaboration. By using cross-cutting approaches to guide students, staff and faculty inquiry, dialogue, and creative critical thinking, FAU endeavors are moved forward to meet the cultural, environmental and economic needs of the 21st century. STEAM promotes a holistic approach to education and inquiry across the university, and ensures FAU's efforts respond to and benefit society. To learn more about the benefits of STEAM, click here.
