Today’s society, in general, would have a difficult time living or functioning withoutmost of these modern conveniences. Yet people take our modern technologies for granted.

, the education arm of the ACI proposesnew federal support to improve the quality of math, science, and technological education in K-12schools.Recent data confirm that teaching is not an easy profession: A new study from the NationalScience Teachers Association, for example, shows that for the past 10 years 50% of teachersleave teaching within their first 5 years if trained traditionally and 80% if they obtain noalternative certifications. Often this is due to the frustration new teachers experience whenstudents show little interest in learning and the teacher has little practical experience with theapplications of science and mathematics that could help to motivate and even inspire students.Yet teaching remains a source of fulfillment and

For instance, in electrical engineering at MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology, the programming language of choice is C++ to fulfill therequirement. The selected language is often driven by faculty preference and immediate industryneeds. New graduates tend to use the tools they know.Structured education, as the primary means of transmitting knowledge to the next generation,can, as knowledge advances, progress upon one of two paths. The first possibility is that of beingreactive, of responding to major changes only after those changes affect technology in aprofound way. Then, there is the proactive choice.

It is widely believed among engineering educators that there is a continuing shortageof highly qualified engineers and scientists. Public acceptance of this view ensures continuedhigh levels of funding. Coupled to this axiom is the supply side view that an insufficient numberof quality candidates are emerging from the schools as candidates for STEM courses. Such viewsare not
