STEM Education: Preventing the pipeline from leaking
The College of Engineering and Tau Beta Pi invites you to a free panel luncheon where you can voice your opinions and learn how to get involved: Featuring panelists from the UM community: Jill Andrews – Director, Office of Engineering Outreach and Engagement (OE)^2 Perry Samson – Associate Chair and Professor Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences Richard Hill – Graduate Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering Aaron Santos – Research Fellow, Department of Chemical Engineering America is at risk of losing its place as the global leader in innovation if we do not address the issues. Other countries are currently outpacing the U.S. in science and technology. In 2004, the NAS study found that China graduated more than 600,000 engineers; India, 350,000 and America, only 70,000. How can we address this trend? What is the current state of public education in regards to science, technology, engineering, and math (the STEM fields)? How can we encourage and prepare students to become leaders in the STEM fields? Are there steps that should be taken or programs that can be implemented to help prevent ‘the STEM pipeline from leaking?’ **Free Middle Eastern food from Jerusalem Garden** April 3, 2008 11:30 am - 1:00 pm Johnson Rooms - Third Floor of the Lurie Engineering Center |
