3) To enhance the STEM content knowledge and instructional practices of educators through the delivery of STEM-related professional development activities and externship opportunities.

4) To produce and disseminate research related to STEM workforce development that will inform business leaders, educators, and policy makers as they make decisions, policy, and investments to advance the economic vitality of the region.
