Summary/Abstract: The current article examines the subject association within the STEM scheme and aims at capturing the rationale of the inclusion of the Arts to STEM. In this context, it focuses on the relevance of the Humanities, in general, and of foreign language teaching, in particular, to the STE(A)M dynamics. In order to capture the added value that the Arts can bring to STEM, the article considers a number of the common loci about the legitimation of the STE(A)M approaches, as articulated in by the discourse of the STE(A)M-centered educational programs which included Romanian participants, as well as perspectives of students at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca.
