thatstudents are often “turned off” by the way technical subjects are taught; traditional classroomlectures followed by “cook-book” type laboratory experiences that provide little opportunity toactively engage in creative real-world problem solving. Engineering technicians are problemsolvers – individuals who skillfully apply their knowledge in solving real-world problems.Working side-by-side with engineers and scientists, engineering technicians are the “hands-on”side of an engineering team, responsible for designing experiments, building and troubleshootingprototypes, analyzing and interpreting data, and presenting experimental results to peers,supervisors and customers.

However, enrollment is low and attritionis high, because there is not an adequate “high school pipeline” to interest and prepare youngpeople to select and be successful in educational programs for these rewarding careers. STEMprograms, developed and offered at high schools throughout the country can provide this“pipeline” by recruiting and educating applied learners to graduate and enroll in technologyprograms at nearby colleges.
