Science Technology Engineering Math


It’s projected that employment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) projects in the United States will grow almost twice as fast as employment in any other occupation between 2008 and 2018.


In fact, technology companies in the US are looking to fill a projected 650,000 jobs by 2018, and two-thirds of those hires are reported to be in STEM fields. However, the US is falling behind many other nations in producing enough talent to fill the upcoming vacuum, both home and abroad. American universities award only 30% as many bachelor’s degrees in science and engineering as Asian universities, and the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce ranks the US as 17th on the number of science degrees it awards.


So in a sea of available STEM talent from around the world... How do we...


Encourage STEM education in the US, Convince domestically-based firms to hire American STEM professionals, and Stay ahead in the international innovation and science race?


The answers to these questions are paramount for tens of thousands of educators, businesspeople, and politicians across the country. In the hope of alleviating a national epidemic of sleep deprivation, we piloted a deep analysis of the STEM job market, STEM education systems, and how they may relate to destinations from science centers to theme parks to zoos.
