Sharing the Work of the Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

In 2017, the Board on Science Education (BOSE) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine created the Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education to convene individuals and organizations from varied roles in and around academia, including industry, government, and scientific and educational associations and societies. Recently Roundtable members reviewed the ideas and resources that have emerged from numerous presentations and discussions with experts over the last several years. Key insights have been compiled in order to facilitate sharing with the wider higher education community. The compilation contains two sets of modules. The first provides short accessible overviews about 1) thinking of higher education as an ecosystem, 2) the role of STEM culture in undergraduate learning, and 3) creating student ready institutions. The second set of modules provide more specific guidance targeted to institutional and department level leaders on advancing system change. This presentation will provide an summary of the modules and how they fit into overall Roundtable work.
