Preamble
 Dertouzos
et al [1989] said:
“To live well, a nation must produce well”
 Eager
[2003]
“The economy of a nation without manufacturing
will not move forward, it will become stagnant
and decay over time”
 Dunwell
[2003]
“Without a good supply of talented, technicallyskilled individuals, the strength of manufacturers
will be reduced, and that it is necessary to rebuild
the dwindling pool of scientists and engineers
starting at the K-12 level”

Outreach – Capacity Building – Underrepresentation
Underrepresentation in S&E workforce stems from
under-production of minorities in S&E at every level of
postsecondary education:
38.8 percent of K-12 public enrollment
33.2 percent of the U.S college-age population
26.2 percent of undergraduate enrollment
17.7 percent of those earning S&E bachelor’s degrees
17.7 percent of overall graduate enrollment
14.6 percent of S&E master’s degrees
 5.4 percent of S&E doctorates
