Researchers have established improved methods for undergraduate science and engineering education, yet these efforts often overlook the personal meaning students find in their work. Institutions of higher learning should support the creation of personal meaning along with content mastery, aspects that are both included in arts education. The authors argue that STEM educators must work to overcome student perception that content mastery and personal meaning sit at odds. The authors provide an example of a technical course that achieves these goals as well as evidence that it is possible to foster connection while developing content mastery.

研究人员已经为本科科学和工程教育建立了改进的方法，但这些努力往往忽视了学生在他们的工作中发现的个人意义。高等教育机构应支持个人意义的创造以及内容的掌握，这两个方面都包含在艺术教育中。作者认为，STEM 教育者必须努力克服学生认为内容掌握和个人意义不一致的看法。作者提供了一个实现这些目标的技术课程的例子，并提供了在培养内容掌握的同时促进联系的证据。
