“While educators in public and private schools are emphasizing STEM education — science, technology, engineering and math — roughly 2.4 million jobs with that focus are unfilled across the country, according to a 2019 report from the National Association of Manufacturing. The report forecasts that nearly 3.5 million STEM-related jobs will need to be filled by 2025. According to a survey of more than 200 colleges and universities conducted by the Mathematical Association of America, 184,000 students entered college in 2011 with the intention of majoring in engineering, but only 98,000 — roughly 53 percent — graduated with engineering degrees in 2015.” (more)
