This view most likely
emerged from the contemporary U.S. K-12 curriculum policy that considers math and science as the core subjects at the K-12 level, while
technology or engineering-related subjects typically are considered electives. Indeed, math and science are the foundational STEM disciplines,
while the disciplines of technology and engineering are considered applied subjects that focus on developing specialized concepts
and practical applications that use the fundamentals of math and science (National Research Council, 2009). Accordingly, there has been a
general belief among diverse stakeholders, including school administrators and policy makers, that it is not necessary for every student at
the K-12 level to study such applied subjects; instead, they should be offered more appropriately at the postsecondary level for students who
are interested in pursuing STEM careers (Knobelsdorf & Vahrenhold, 2013; National Research Council, 2009: Moore et al., 2014)
