Why Teach STEM Ed?
Why Teach STEM Ed?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, professional information technology (IT) jobs will increase 24% between 2006 and 2016. However, as jobs requiring a solid background in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are growing – more students are choosing not to major in these areas.
United States Department of Labor
“Our nation needs to increase the supply and quality of “knowledge workers” whose specialized skills enable them to work within STEM industries and occupations. Our nation’s economic future depends upon improving the pipeline into STEM fields (2007).”
United States Military Academy: Intellectual Domain
• Think and act creatively
• Demonstrate the capability and desire to pursue progressive and continued intellectual development
• Listen, read, speak and write effectively
• Be scientifically literate and capable of applying scientific, mathematical, and computational modes of thought to the solution of complex problems.• Understand and apply information technology concepts to acquire, manage, communicate and defend information, solve problems, and adapt to technology.• Apply mathematics, science, technology, and the engineering design process to devise technological problem solutions that are effective and adaptable.
