While this meaning of STEM by O'Reilly is not to be mistaken for Eclipse STEM, it meets ideas and objectives of this WG and projects involved (not just STEM) rather well I'd say.

![STEM]()
For the last few years, one of the major pushes in US education has
been to increase the number of students entering STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math) fields. This has been promoted as a critical
step toward keeping America competitive in high tech, medicine, and science.
But
recently, some have started
to question whether there's really a shortage of STEM-capable workers. The
argument goes that colleges and universities promote the myth to get
more funding, and industry supports that to keep wages
down by flooding the market with workers.
