STEM and Engagement Between 2008 and 2018, STEM job
growth will almost double non-STEM job growth
STEM is second only to health care as a job growth sector
STEM workers earn about 26% more thannon-STEM workers
STEM and Engagement 40% of first-year STEM students change
programs or quit higher education
“The math-science death march”Students experience “Weed-out” classesClasses Tend to focus on theory over hands-on applicationSignificant shift from their previous engagementwith STEM
Designing for the future
Appreciative Advising can be used to reignite interest in and passion for STEM
The Appreciative Mindset
“The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.” – Anonymous
