Technology5. Retention6. What needs to be done7. Creating interest of diverse groups
Competing in the 21st Century global market?
Desperately Seeking Math and Science MajorsBy Geoff Colvin, senior editor at large July 29, 2010
“This spring the U.S. will graduate about 8,000 Ph.D. engineers, an estimated two-thirds of whom are not U.S. citizens. About 150,000 students who majored in engineering, computer science, information technology, and math will collect bachelor's degrees. The Chinese government claims that in recent years the number (of bachelor degrees) in China has been well north of 500,000 and rising fast; even if overstated, as some believe, the real number is much larger than America's, and the quality of those graduates is improving. “

"STEM" occupations and job growthThe need for technical work continues to grow. Technical occupations are often defined as those related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Changing Demographics in the USA and Oklahoma
• There are approximately 309 million people in the US.
• Since 2000, 27.3 million people were add to the US population.
• Over all minorities accounted for 92% of the total U.S. population growth during the past decade.

Percent Change in population under 18Source: Reports on America , Population Reference Bureau, July 2011
Demographic Changes• The U.S. population will soar to 438 million by 2050
• The Hispanic population will triple, according to projections released by the Pew Research Center.
• Even if immigration is limited, Hispanics' share of the population will increase because they have higher birth rates than the overall population. That's largely because Hispanic immigrants are younger than the nation's aging baby boom population. The median age of Hispanics is 27.4 compared with 37.9 overallAsians 35.4Blacks 31.1Whites 40.8
• Births, not immigration, now account for most of the growth in the nation’s Hispanic population, a distinct reversal of trends of the past 30 years.
• The proportion of children under 18 who are minorities will be: 62%, up from 44% today.
• Two in every five children will be Hispanic.
• Blacks will remain 13% of the population. Asians will go to 9% from 5%.

Projection on who is going to college
Between 2007 and 2018 enrollment is projected to increase by • 4 percent for students that are White• 26 percent for students that are Black• 29 percent for students that are Asian or Pacific Islander• 32 percent for students that are American Indian or Alaska Native• 38 percent for students who are Hispanic• 14 percent for students that are non resident aliens

Why Broad Participation MattersOur sources for the S&E workforce are uncertain: • The fastest growing population is also the most underrepresented in the
STEM fields• For many years, the nation relied on an S&E workforce that was
predominantly male, white and Asian. • In the more recent past, we have seen gains for women in some fields
and an increasing reliance on international students in others. • Non-U.S. citizens (e.g. those from China and India) have accounted for
almost all growth in STEM doctorate awards• However, we are coming to understand that relying on non-U.S.
citizens for our S&E workforce is an increasingly uncertain proposition
Issues of concern…
More than 17% of Hispanic people ages 16 to 24 are high-school dropouts; compared with only 6% of whites, 9% of blacks and 4% of Asians of the same age group, according to 2009 data analyzed by the Pew Hispanic Center.

Why is this important?
Issues of concern…
Issues of concern…
• Underrepresented minority groups comprised 28.5 percent of our national population in 2006, yet just 9.1 percent of college-educated Americans in science and engineering occupations (academic and nonacademic)
• The fastest growing demographic is also the most underrepresented in the STEM field.
Next Steps… What to do
The Good News…Is the glass half-full?
• Underrepresented minorities in 4-year institutions major in STEM at the same rate as others, but their completion rate is lower.

What is this? Can you make it?

Inari Sushi
Can you make Inari Sushi?If you had help would you do better in preparing Inari Sushi?Would you do better if you grew up eating Inari Sushi?
GRE Scores?The GRE is particularly susceptible to the influence of socioeconomic class. ETS' own research has shown a strong relationship between family background and test scores. One study of applicants who scored between 750 and 800 on the exam found that only 4% of these high-scoring test-takers had fathers who had not completed high school; around half had fathers with bachelor's degrees or more, and of these, a whopping 90% had fathers with graduate or professional degrees. When family income was held constant, most of the test score differences between races disappeared or shrank dramatically.
Penncock-Roman, M. (1994). Background Characteristics and Futures Plans of High-Scoring GRE General Test Examinees, research report ETS-RR9412 submitted to EXXON Education Foundation, Princeton, NJ: Educational Testing Service.
Need to forget:• Interest inventories • Standardized test • Move Beyond high failure rates(You can be rigorous and graduate students…focus on teaching and learning)• Scholarships
We must break the cycle. Every time one child goes to colleges it means their children will go to college. It means they will know how to make the sushi.
The End
