Abstract: Drawing upon understanding of innovation processes in other domains, we construct a model of the innovation system for science, technology, engineering, and math STEM education.The model suggests that higher educational innovation in research universities is severely disadvantaged in many regards.Paramount is the lack of a natural innovator.The model suggests a number of organizational and structural factors that must be addressed to bolster the prospects of educational improvement at research universities.Lacking is motivation for faculty to undertake STEM innovation.
