In Canada we call it STEAM now. Because where the hell do you think design comes from?

My subjective interpretation of STEM is "degrees you need to know calculus for". They're all math heavy, with precise answers. While the arts are certainly important, I just don't see how they fit that motif. What is this supposed to accomplish?
