GrowingOverall, the engineering occupations are projected to add 136,500 jobs through 2022. They willcontinue to be needed to design, build, test, and improve manufactured products. However,during this time, increasing employment of engineers in service industries, research anddevelopment, and consulting should generate most of the employment growth [1].The 2015 National Science Foundation’s Survey of Graduate Students and Post-doctorates inscience and engineering [2] found that from 2008 to 2013 STEM graduate students in the U.S.who were U.S. citizens or permanent residents rose 3.1%. Of these, 25.8% were Hispanic and7.8% were African-American.“Finding Your Workforce: Latinos in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)” [3]2015 report found

Data were analyzedvia graphical representation (% female by year) and descriptive statistics.Results The results of our mathematical model (Figure 2) suggest that our outreach programmingefforts will increase the rate of women in orthopaedic residency to the critical threshold of 30%[11] within the next 6 years (by 2022) and eventually reach a plateau of 45% female within 10years (by 2025). If we assume worst-case conditions – that is, we underestimate the rates ofmatriculation from our program into orthopaedics – we will achieve 30% female within 10 years,and this will be the

Technology emphasis in Cyber Security. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Cybersecurity Camp - A Call for AwarenessAbstractThe demand for cybersecurity analysts and awareness is increasing, the employment ofinformation security analysts is projected to grow 37 percent from 2012 to 2022, much fasterthan the average for all occupations. Today, women represent just 10 percent of thecybersecurity workforce. Thus, to increase the amount of people going into cybersecurity,primarily women, we must start at the base: schools. There, we can emphasize the need for beingcyber savvy and also address the need to have balanced teams of men and women.In 2015, we hosted a Girls Cybersecurity Camp

Introduction According to a federal report issued in 2012, the U.S. needs to have an additional one million STEM graduates by 2022 in order retain historical preeminence in science and technology1. This is an increase of about 34 percent annually over the current rates. The report, along with the federal 5-year STEM strategic plan released in 20132, also proposes that improving retention at
