Though the Gathering Storm report has done much to spotlight STEM education issues, ithas brought little interest to education research in particular. The report’s educationrecommendations are mostly in line with the priorities mentioned above; the highest-priorityrecommendation is to address K-12 science and mathematics education, and higher educationrecommendations focus on undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships for STEMstudents, as well as visa reform for international students. While these recommendations arelaudable and their implementation would constitute a great improvement to the United States'science and engineering enterprise, the report

and the creation of home-grown technology companies. The last factor also implies that the university can affect the promotion of technology spin-out companies by fostering an environment to promote the formation and development of new firms (Brett, Gibson, & Smilor, 1991). One outcome of the increasingly dynamic role of the research university in the creation of technology centers, not only in the United States but internationally as well, has been the emergence of the “technopolis,” which involves linking technology commercialization with effective public and private sector initiatives to create new infrastructures for economic growth, diversification, and global competitiveness

To meet the changing demands of the nation’s science and engineering labor force,recognition of the importance of pre-college education intervention and implementation ofchallenging curricula that captures and sustains middle and high school students’ achievementand interest in science and “pre-engineering” content is critical. Current research reveals that one of the most important determinants of what studentslearn is the expertise and pedagogy of the teacher. Accordingly, our research is focused onimproving teacher quality and resulting middle and high school student learning in STEM

The purpose of the interviews was to understand thefactors encouraging engineers to participate in public decision making and the obstacles they arefacing. One of the essential aspects in the data collection phase in the GT research process issampling. Researchers must not randomly select cases but rather should do it incrementallyfollowing a theoretical sampling logic. This said, the researchers select an initial case, and on thebasis of the data collected and the emerging theory, they select additional cases.
