14. “STEM education,” as used in this
report, includes the subjects of
mathematics, biology, chemistry,
and physics, which have
traditionally formed the core
requirements of many state
curricula at the K-12 level. In
addition, the report includes other
critical subjects, such as computer
science, engineering,
environmental science and
geology, with whose fundamental
concepts K-12 students should be
familiar.
17. 6.4% of Jobs in U.S. are STEM Jobs

18. There are between 3.8 and 5.8 million
people in the US employed in NIT.
Computer and mathematical occupations
are projected to add 785,700 new jobs from
2008 to 2018.
As a group, these jobs are forecast to grow
more than twice as fast as the average for
all occupations in the economy.

19. Technology impacts all jobs and academic
disciplines—all aspects of life.

20. “Although the term ‘STEM education’
is used in national education policy, it
is not implemented in a way that
reflects the interdependence of the four
STEM subjects.”
-NAE/NRC Committee on K-12
Engineering Education (2009)
21. “By ‘science,’ Project 2061 means basic and
applied natural and social science, basic and
applied mathematics, and engineering and
technology, and their interconnections—which
is to say the scientific enterprise as a whole.
The basic point is that the ideas and practice
of science, mathematics, and technology are so
closely intertwined that we do not see how
education in any one of them can be
undertaken well in isolation from the others.”

63. Origo may be the
last toy you ever
have to buy for your
child. The prototype
3D printer under
development by Artur
Tchoukanov and
Joris Peels allows
children aged ten and
up to design figurines
and shapes on a
computer, and then
print them out to play
with. Instead of
buying your children
more toys, let them
make their own.
Cost: $800.00

the past two decades
reflected by Moore's
Law is accompanied
by an 8 order of

86. Cyber physical computing is the
fourth generation of computing.
Cyber physical systems use
computers, software and/or
networks (or their logic) to
monitor and/or direct the
operation of physical processes
and/or biological systems (or vice
versa).

Agriculture, Food, Water, Public Health, Emergency Services, Government, Defense
Industrial Base, Information and Telecommunications, Energy, [Health],
Transportation, Banking and Finance, Chemical Industry, and Postal and Shipping
(Center for Infrastructure Expertise, n.d., p. 4).

139. Today, Finland’s progressive strategy includes: multi-
disciplinary and multi-industry collaboration to integrate
nano science-, bio science-, information science- and
cognitive science-based research and development (Tieke,
2005, p.9); converging design, art and science in the
contexts of education and human development
(Tahkokallio and Koivusilta, 2004, p.1); national R&D policy
and urban-rural development establishing connected
regional centers of innovation; partnering with global high
tech markets and industries (Embassy of Switzerland,
Beijing, 2005, p.12); and leading the world in “Public-
Private Partnership” (with efforts dating back to the year
of their independence, 1917) (Tieke, 2005, p.12-15).
