Our mission is to advance the application of scientific research methods to STEM education by establishing an INstitute for QUantitative Education Research Infrastructure in teaching mathematical, biological, engineering, and physical sciences at the college level. Our three overarching goals are:
- to build a STEM education research infrastructure by taking the lead in the development, deployment, user training, and archiving of high quality research methods and instruments,
- to disseminate the methods and results of quality STEM education research, and
- to be a catalyst to establishing STEM education quantitative research collaborations and studies across institutions and across disciplines.
