Educational planners around the world endeavour and make every effort to educate the next generation of students to become technology literate and take interest in subjects such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the face of increased economic competitions. However, these subjects are not to be taught separately but to be integrated into a cohesive interdisciplinary approach. This approach connects among discrete disciplines and converges into an entity, known as STEM. According to Tsupros, Kohler, and Hallinen (2009), “STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world lessons as students apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work, and the global enterprise enabling the development of STEM literacy and with it the ability to complete in the new economy”. Along with the progress in STEM curriculum, educator
