Sanjay: It is not the only future but mastering STEM will pave the way for you to have a lot of options.

HAVING a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) mindset is important for students pursuing these fields.

STEM is a mindset and a framework not just for these disciplines, but also for life, said professor of mechanical engineering at the Sloan School of Management at MIT Sanjay Sarma, who has more than 20 patents to his name for radio-frequency identification (RFID) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies.
