The Broken STEM: Reflections for Decision Makers, Educators, Students and Their Families (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798339472339)

This book critically examines the state of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, exposing its contradictions, inefficiencies, and systemic flaws. It explores key issues such as administrative bloat, textbook and research-paper publishing, student debt, research integrity, and institutional rankings. The Broken STEM also draws thought-provoking parallels between academia, US healthcare, and communism, revealing deep-seated structural problems and misplaced priorities. Ultimately, it offers actionable solutions to reform STEM education, making it more effective, transparent, and aligned with societal needs. Aimed at faculty, administrators, policymakers, students, and their families, this book serves as both a diagnosis and a call to action to fix a failing system.
