There has been curriculum reforms and many initiatives in higher education tomake STEM programs more attractive to incoming freshmen. Along the same lines, some ofgreatest challenges faced by STEM workforce is the lack of diversity where the workplace is notwell represented by underrepresented and/or disadvantaged populations.
