National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study stresses the need for integrating STEM disciplines with arts and humanities.
"...the arts, sciences and humanities are all 'branches from the same tree.' They are mutually reinforcing. For that reason, we favor broad educational experiences that integrate the STEM disciplines with the arts and humanities, drawing on and fortifying the connections between them."
"integration can contribute to the development of critical thinking, communication and collaborative skills that are increasingly in demand."
"studying the arts and humanities can also aid students in developing the highly complex, technical understanding that STEMM disciplines often demand. That’s because assignments requiring students to use their creativity and imagination often help them internalize the material."
