The new program will focus on increasing the number of highly qualified science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teachers in response to a presidential goal to prepare 100,000 new STEM teachers over the next decade.

Collaboration is underway to develop the course for Mines students to earn a degree in an existing STEM area and apply for teacher licensure through the state.
Once in place, organizers said the program will serve as a national model that other engineering and teacher institutions can adopt.
