price model was developed when I worked for Unocal Corporation in the1980’s. It is based on theories developed in finance and engineering economy that are similar tothe “discounted cashflow” method of stock evaluation (Rahgozar, 2008, Becchetti et all, 2004,Rawley et al 2006). When at Unocal, my colleagues and I in the strategic planning departmentbuilt a model to forecast the stock price of Unocal during the take over fight with T. BoonePickens (McCoy, 1985). We used the model to predict the change in the stock price asinformation was relayed to the investment community. It was very accurate and was extremelyhelpful in the take over defense.The point of this project, as it was in the case of Unocal’s stock price model, is not to develop amodel

(STEM) has become a majorconcern in the United States in recent years21,22. It is widely accepted that the United States’leadership position in the world relies largely on its scientific and technical expertise. In thistechnological era, as the demand for the workforce in the STEM fields continues to grow, moreinvestments must be made in STEM education to prepare enough scientists and engineers whowill create the innovations vital for the success of the U.S. economy. However, the currentoutput from the U. S. educational system is struggling to meet this exponentially increasingdemand for scientists and engineers25. The impending wave of retiring baby boomer STEMprofessionals will worsen the situation in the next few years44. The shortage in

Courses can and do change their language(s) of choice based on thechanging needs of students. While the findings here suggest that a change in language may notcreate many challenges to students in downstream classes, it is important to recall the limitationsof this study. Many students have self-selected into pathways that indicate they are stronglyprepared to pick up a new language without much trouble. Not all students will be able to do thiswith ease. Nor are computing languages structured in the same way. An AP student with abackground in Java may transition better to a course in C++ than a CS1 student with abackground in
