STEM graduates. According to the Bureau of Labor andStatistics, STEM jobs will grow to nine (9) million by 2022. In terms of individual occupations,information security analysis has a projected growth of 37% until 2022 (the highest), whereasenvironmental science and protection has a projected growth rate of 19% (the lowest). However,both of these fields are very good prospects for STEM job seekers.Clearly, STEM disciplines cover a broad range of topics and employment opportunities arenumerous, yet many domestic students exit the STEM career pathway despite flexible careeroptions. A student engagement continuum, if designed correctly, would translate the relevanceand importance of STEM education through constant engagement across all

As a result, this kind of student will reach a numberwhere they will form a “new majority” in higher education, at least in certain programs [4].Therefore, it is becoming very important to focus our attention on studying this particular groupof students.The literature commonly associates non-traditional students with a higher risk of dropout incomparison with traditional students. Johnson [5] identified: age, qualifications, attendance, hoursof paid employment, and hours of academic study as the most influential variables causingnon-traditional students to dropout of college during the freshmen year. Moreover, manyeducational

, positionopenings in physics, chemistry, and math are commonly the hardest to fill with qualifiedpersonnel [1]. This disparity has led to a large percentage of STEM teachers with no collegemajor or minor in their main subjects, or they have no complete certification. Among mathteachers, 40% fall into this description, while over 60% of physics, chemistry, and earth scienceteachers do so[2].This concern over STEM shortages is justified as STEM jobs are projected to grow by 13% from2012 - 2022 which is an increase of about 1 million jobs over a 10 year period. Only 5% ofUnited States workers are employed in STEM jobs, but these jobs drive 50% of the UnitedStates’ economic growth.

Specifically, the New JerseyDepartment of Labor and Workforce Development projects 7.5% employment growth for thissector between 2012 and 2022, which means 313,150 additional jobs. This sector is expected toachieve the second largest projected employment growth in New Jersey, behind educational andhealth services.Regionally, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services is a basic industrial sector, meaningit is a segment of the local economy that serves non-local demand, with a location quotient of1.45 and projected

These interventions will create data-driven strategies to enhance student success with specific emphasis on improving student learning, increasing student retention, and broadening participation. • Establish MSU as a leader within the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). This will include increasing the number of faculty publishing and attending the ASEE annual conference, increasing the number of MSU faculty serving in leadership roles within ASEE divisions, and moving toward hosting the PNW section meeting in Bozeman by 2022. • Contribute to the training of tomorrow's professoriate by increasing the

We noted high student motivation on those Labs and projects, as well aspositive feedback from students.Robotics is an interdisciplinary field requiring knowledge of software, electronics, controlsystems, actuators and sensors.After reviewing course materials from courses on-line and number of introductory books, wedetermined that an introductory course for Electronic

scienceexperiences.IntroductionSince the early 1990s, researchers have been exploring the reasons for the gender disparity inSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and developing interventions designed toincrease the numbers of women entering STEM fields. Experts agree that a diverse STEMworkforce leads to global competitiveness and better economic outcomes for all involved [1]. Ina 2009 study of for-profit corporations, Herring found that gender diversity in the workforcecould be connected to greater sales, more customer acquisitions and ultimately larger profits [2].Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects growth rates for STEM occupationsof about 13% between 2012 and 2022, which is faster than average for all occupations.

moreengineers by the year 2022 [2]. In addition, the progressive retirement of the baby boomergeneration will result in the loss of just as many engineers, creating a need for more than amillion engineers to enter our workforce in the next five years [1]. Unfortunately, not enoughstudents are entering engineering programs in college and thus are not pursuing careers inengineering [7-8]. Two of the more critical reasons for this are the absence of engineering topicsin K-12 science, technology and mathematics curriculum [9-13] and the chronicunderrepresentation of women [8,14-17] and minorities [8,17-18].The Need for Effective STEM Education: Too many students lack an interest in engineering,due in part to a general lack of public knowledge about what
