The Global STEM Imperative

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Global STEM Imperative (ID: ERM0825)
Author(s):Karen A. Holbrook (The Ohio State University)
Origin:EDUCAUSE Review Articles (03/14/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

"The more recent goals -- to internationalize colleges and universities and promote global citizenship for students -- have occurred coincidentally with the realization that U.S. students are becoming less
interested in preparing for careers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. There is concern that the United States could find itself challenged and perhaps outcompeted by those nations that also understand the strength and dominance of preparing students in the STEM disciplines and that are focusing on capacity-building in the STEM workforce through education."
