Are we asking the wrong questions when we ask about STEM degrees? Are we lumping over-subscribed topics with topics under great demand? For example, the general impression is that Biology degree holders have a very tough time getting good jobs. At the same time, career fairs in

In particular, she is interested in supporting science teachers’ reform- based instruction while simultaneously understanding their beliefs. As science classrooms shift to more integrated STEM approaches, this is especially critical. Additionally, Dr. Dare has a passion for working with K-12 students to understand how changes in classroom instruction impacts their attitudes towards and beliefs about STEM fields. In particular, she is looking at methods that positively impact girls, which may increase the number of women pursuing careers in STEM-related fields where they are currently

This is particularly valuable for retention of female students.Women leaving STEM fields often cite a feeling that those fields do not align with theirinterests, which are often focused around communal goals such as helping others [8]. Womenhave also been shown to emphasize altruism, knowledge development, and interpersonalorientation as motivating factors in their career

To fill thisdemand, it is predicted that the U.S. needs to increase the yearly production of undergraduateSTEM degrees by 34%.

Becoming “familiar” with the relevant standards is one ofthose things every engineer has to learn once they start their career. They’ll always have tolearn new things on the job. This is one of them.International Building Code (IBC) is primary for ME’s and CE’s. In the back of the IBC thereis a “Referenced Standards” it lists other required standards such as: ACI for concrete, AISCfor steel structures, ANSI for misc, ASCE for wind and seismic loads, ASME for piping, ASTMfor materials, NFPA 70 (NEC) for electrical.It depends on discipline.
