STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. I don't think it's the same as technology management and given your other posts about your background in IT, I wouldn't think it's suitable for you.
On a wider note, by coincidence, I asked my wife about a combined STEM (first) degree for my school aged son (she is a school/college careers advisor.) She said to avoid them, there are better degrees that employers are looking for.

STEM means something specific in the USA, where degrees with the STEM designation have longer periods for their graduates to work in the USA. But there are US STEM degrees in finance, marketing, accounting, supply chain.... more or less all business functions in addition to more traditional STEM fields in the natural sciences.

I've learnt something new today Duncan!

These degrees are highly valued by many international students who want to work in the US after graduation, since STEM-desginated degrees can make you eligible for a post-study work visa that lasts for 36 months (the normal amount of time for the post-study work visa in the US is just 12 months).
Employers are also more likely to hire somebody who has three years of eligibility rather than just one year.

A growing number of business schools in the United States are offering “STEM designated” MBA programs to give students the skills they need for an age of digitization and robotics. When schools prove that half their course material is based on the ‘STEM’ fields—science, technology, engineering and math—they earn the status.
