shifting paradigms of theindustry to changing existing processes have led to an increased demand for chemical engineerswith pharmaceutical training [3]. Indeed, there has been an increase in the employment ofchemical engineers by pharmaceutical companies. From 2012 to 2022, the amount of chemicalengineers that will be employed by pharmaceutical engineers will increase by 4.1 percent, whiletraditional chemical manufacturing positions will fall by 9.8 percent [4].Due to this demand increase from the pharmaceutical industry, universities have developedmethods for including pharmaceutical engineering education into their existing programs.Pharmaceutical engineering can be defined as the design of manufacturing processes forpharmaceutical and

Department of Labor projections predictan aerospace growth rate of over 7% for the period 2012-2022 [7]. Roughly 80% of the aerospaceworkforce is between the ages of 40-65 and over the next 20 years many are retiring or going to otherindustries. In addition, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International’s(AUVSI) Economic Impact of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration in the United States (March2013), the UAS sector is expected to add 100,000 jobs and $82B to our national economy by 2025.Alaska’s share of the pie

This paper andpresentation will share the event’s general program as well as participant feedback collected atthe 2014 InWIC meeting, which demonstrate that the event has been successful in reinforcing thedecision of pursuing a computing career path by young female computing students.BackgroundAccording to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Information Technology (IT) sector isexpected to add almost 1.2 million jobs by 2022, but the number of computing college graduateswill cover less than 40% of these openings.7 Although women earned more than half the collegedegrees awarded in 2012, less than 20% of those degrees were in the computer and informationsciences disciplines.7 By reducing the gender gap in computing, the IT

% growthin employment8 through the year 2022. This figure certainly seems to indicate that there is a needfor such skills but it really does not tell the entire story. As mentioned earlier in this paper, thenow defunct Biomedical Instrumentation Technology program at STCC as originally conceivedin the early 1970s was “parts centric”. During that era, the unambiguous, part/component centricaspect of the technology dictated how the technicians in this field were educated. However, sincethe early 1970s Moore’s Law has been hard at work and the ball game has changed (see Figure 1below).

Employment in the construction industry by 2022 is expected to beabout 7.4 million workers; a 21 per cent increase over 2014 levels42. While this may notappear to be a large part of the US workforce, construction industry accounted for 20.3percent, 796 out of 3,929, of the overall fatalities in 201343.There are many ways that workers compensation requirements are disseminated to employersas coverage is mandated based on regulations.
