Building The Two-Way Bridge:A Software Engineering Master’s Program for Liberal Arts Graduates Abstract Recent reports have highlighted an urgency of developing and retaining a homegrownworkforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), especially historicallyunderrepresented groups, such as women, due to global competition for science and engineeringtalent. While scientists and engineers typically start their careers with enrolling in a bachelor’sprogram in a STEM field in a four-year college, some go into STEM in other ways, especiallywith the intervention of higher education institutions and federal agencies. In another word, someindividuals employed

Interest Levels of Male versus Female Students going into STEM Fields (Evaluation)IntroductionThe fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, also known as STEM, haveexperienced rapid growth in terms of their importance and the demand for qualified graduates[1]. STEM careers provide an essential driving force behind new innovations and growth in theUnited States. STEM fields have seen a job growth rate three times that of non-STEM careers,and are continuing to grow [2]. Despite efforts to increase the number of STEM graduates, TheUnited States is struggling to supply enough qualified workers to fulfill these demands. TheUnited States is facing a problem as students’ interest, and therefore literacy in STEM has

However,in one ACT study (ACT, 2011) that is consistent with many others, only 25% of high schoolstudents met all the college readiness benchmarks set by the ACT in English, reading, science,and mathematics. While 45% met the mathematics benchmark, only 30% met the readinessbenchmark in science. Consequently, the STEM related workforce gap between the needs of employers andskills of the workforce is in turmoil. The Lemelson-MIT Invention Index that surveysAmerican’s perceptions’ about invention and innovation found that teens and young adults arehighly interested in pursuing STEM careers. However, 34% said

Structured interviews of covered the participants’ family background, their motivations forenrolling in their major, their expectations with respect to career (including startups), their attitudestoward risk, and reflection on the interview. In the course of the interviews, participants were askedto rate their risk tolerance and their interest in pursuing a startup. Analysis of the interviews suggeststhat the principal indicator of entrepreneurial intent was interest in a startup, that most students’perceptions of the desirability of startups are negative, and that

Lab Implementation (Work in Progress)IntroductionManufacturing is one of the largest economic drivers in the United States, but withoutintervention, its successes might be short-lived. This warning is not original, nor is it new.Organizations like Deloitte [1] have been keeping a close eye on the state of themanufacturing industry in the United States for years and have predicted that the country maybe in trouble. As increasing retirement numbers from the baby-boomer generation looms overthe horizon, a lack of interest and awareness for manufacturing careers from the nextgeneration is creating a vacuum of talent for tomorrow’s jobs [2]. Even if the trend ofpushing back the retirement age continues, there may still not be enough new employees

towards a STEM career is an area of active research with many variedapproaches attempted to increase interest in a STEM major. Typical approaches includecoursework (e.g. Project Lead The Way), robotics programs (e.g. FIRST), STEM exposure days(e.g. STEM Career Day), hands-on outreach to local schools, etc. Indeed, approaches tomotivate often do not stop even when STEM students are on campus, with first-year disciplinarycourses including hands-on activities aimed at cultivating interest and motivation for that major.While education and exposure are important steps, many students in STEM areas still have littleidea of what would be a “typical day” for them at the workplace (once they graduate).Accordingly, the University of Akron has developed the
