, 2012). Considering the innovation-driven and knowledge-based nature of the U.S. economy,employment opportunities in STEM are projected to increase at a much faster rate than those innon-STEM occupations (CIC, 2014). Also, employees in STEM occupations have and shouldcontinue to experience higher average salaries and lower unemployment rates than theircontemporaries in non-STEM fields (CIC, 2014; Daymont & Andrisani, 1984; Wise, 1975). Inspite of the aforementioned perquisites of working in STEM fields, however, the United Statescontinues to severely lack individuals with the qualifications needed to assume these jobs (CIC,2014; U.S. CJEC, 2012). The insufficiency of the U.S. STEM workforce partially derives fromtwo major factors: 1
