description Mulnix and Vandegrift discuss the strategic plan that the American Association for the Advancement of Science for improving undergraduate science education. As with any good template for change, the plan promises much. It ensures that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates will not only acquire content knowledge, but will also learn to engage in science as a process, effectively use quantitative reasoning, and think critically and creatively about the world.
