Science. Technology, engineering. And. Mathematics, stem. Previously. Science, math, engineering and. Technology Smet, is a term, used to group together these, academic. Disciplines. This. Term, is typically, used when addressing, education, policy. And curriculum. Choices in, schools, to improve competitiveness. In. Science, and technology development. It. Has, implications. For workforce. Development, national. Security. Concerns, an immigration. Policy. The acronym came, into common, use shortly, after an interagency, meeting. On science, education, held, at the US National. Science Foundation. Chaired by the then NSF. Director Rita. Colwell a. Director. From the Office, of Science, Division of, workforce, development for, teachers and scientists, Peter, Felicia, suggested. The change from the older, acronyms met to stem. Colwell. Expressing. Some dislike, for the older, acronym, responded. By suggesting. NSF. Institute. The change. However. The acronym, stem predates, NSF. And likely, traces, its origin, to Charles Vela the founder, and director of, the Center, for the Advancement of Hispanics. In science, and engineering education. Kasi. In the. Early, 1990s. Kazi started, a summer program for talented. Underrepresented. Students. In the Washington. DC area called. The stem Institute. Based. On the program's recognize, success, and, his expertise. In STEM education. Charles, Vela was asked, to serve on numerous, NSF. And congressional, panels. In science, mathematics, and. Engineering education. It. Is through this manner that NSF, was first introduced, to the acronym, stem one of the first NSF. Projects. To use the acronym was ste. MTEC. The, science, technology. Engineering and.

The United, States National, Academies. Expressed. Their concern, about the declining, state of STEM education in. The United, States, its. Committee, on science, engineering. And public policy. Developed, a list of 10 actions. Their. Top three recommendations were. To. Increase. America's. Talent, pool by improving, k-12, science, and mathematics. Education. Strengthen. The skills of teachers through. Additional training in science, mathematics, and. Technology.

The efforts of the US government. To increase, the number of stem graduates saying. That among, studies on the subject no, one has been able to find, any evidence, indicating. Current, widespread. Labor market. Shortages. Or hiring, difficulties. In science, and engineering. Occupations. That require, bachelor's. Degrees, or higher and, that. Most. Studies, report. That real wages in, many, but. Not all, science. And engineering. Occupations, have. Been flat, or slow, growing, and unemployment. As high or higher than in many comparably. Skilled. Occupations. Teitelbaum. Also, wrote that the then current, national, fixation, on increasing, STEM, participation. Paralleled, previous, u.s. government. Efforts since World War Two to increase. The number of scientists. And engineers all. Of which he stated ultimately, ended, up in mass.
