The publications archived in this Digital Commons@Georgia Southern collection are authored by the STEM Affiliate faculty of Georgia Southern University.

The collection represents the original Institute for Interdisciplinary STEM Education (2012-2019).

The original STEM Institute was founded in 2012 with the guidance of College of Education’s Robert Mayes, Ph.D., professor of STEM education. Together, Mayes, COE Associate Dean for Administration and Faculty Affairs Tracy Linderholm, Ph.D., and Karin Scarpinato, a former associate dean of the College of Science and Mathematics (COSM), proposed a University-wide program to promote STEM education across campus with support from former COE Dean Thomas Koballa, Ph.D., and upper administration. All colleges at the University participated in the development and implementation of i2STEMe.
