STEM Field Synthesis Essay

Throughout today’s society, media contributes to almost everyone’s daily life. From informative news channels to comical television shows, media proves to be effective in advertisement, releasing messages and informing the audience. Although media proves to be wildly effective in advertising, releasing messages and informing the audience, periodically destructive and misleading messages are provided to the audience and directly influencing women. Cultural critics widely agree that media tends to negatively influence women and all the critics point to research which supports the belief that women are portrayed as subordinate to men, having no

Malcolm Forbes describes diversity as “the art of thinking independently together.” In today’s society, thinking independently together is how we create solutions to imminent problems, especially in STEM fields. However, diversity of opinion requires a diversity of race, culture, and personal experience- characteristics that cannot be achieved if STEM workers are not representative of the demographics of our country. While great strides have been made to diversify the STEM field in the past 50 years, they have not been enough. More governmental programs must be implemented to give minority children in marginalized communities a fair chance at being successful in STEM fields, resulting in a more skilled workforce that is able to create diverse

Being raised in a very STEM-centric family, I began to realize the importance of STEM at an early age from spending time with my parents during school breaks. My mother is a professor of electrical engineering at Georgia Tech and my father is a civil engineer who works for Georgia Power. I played around with Scratch and small robots when I was very young, spending a lot of time at Georgia Tech. What we, humans, can create fascinates me. I

My acceptance into the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program became one of my greatest experiences at North County High School. Throughout my STEM classes, I had learned to think more critically and creatively. STEM required us to collaborate to solve problems. This collaboration taught me proper communication and strong leadership skills which I utilized effectively during summer bridge projects and the community challenge projects that we did each year. One of the most significant community challenge projects that I did with a partner was design and print, using a 3-D printer provided from my school to create a cookie cutting prototype that helped modernize the production of cookies for a local bakery owner. Through

1. I have developed an interest in science during my high school career, and love watching new technology being created. I figure that I will most likely either continue on to medical school after I receive my undergraduate degree or try to work to design new technologies that will aid scientific research and study. Therefore, it was really a no-brainer for me to pursue various STEM related courses and subjects. In my opinion, the STEM field contributes to innovation and world progress more than any other fields. Without STEM fields, I most likely wouldn’t even be able to type this paper, or use the internet to submit my college application and scholarships. If the STEM field were to disappear, the world would stagnate. In order to prevent

As a part of the HBCU Alumni Alliance’s Higher Education initiative program; Alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are concerned about the inadequate representation of minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related professions. Consequently, DCHBCUAA STEM professionals have designed and organized an instructional hands-on STEM workshop for students in grades 10-12, to enlighten them on the different facets of professions available in the sciences. As a part of our community partnership with Kaiser Permanente, we have a workshop scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2017, from 800 am-5:00 pm, at 2101 Jefferson Street in Rockville, Maryland.

Alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are concerned about the inadequate representation of minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related professions. Consequently, DCHBCUAA STEM professionals have designed and organized an instructional hands-on workshop for students in grades 10-12. The workshop is designed to increase their awareness of the exciting opportunities available in the sciences and to provide an opportunity for students to talk to subject matter experts currently working in STEM occupations.

We would love to grow a partnership with [enter partner name here] to run this event. We are looking for sponsorship of up to $15,000 to cover the costs of the event operations and prizes, as we are hoping to eliminate a competition entry fee. I'm sure you can agree that there are already many barriers to entry in STEM, for girls and women.

The Office of Diversity Affairs focuses on two main initiatives, the first of which is the Summer Biomedical Research Program (SBRP). This programs affords undergraduates with the opportunity to engage in scientific research at BSOM and Vidant Medical Center. Undergraduates chosen for this program develop essential researching skills including writing and presenting clinical research. Furthermore, this program provides students who belong to groups that are underrepresented (e.g., racial/ethnic, religious, veteran status) in science with a unique opportunity to find a mentor in the medical field that shares a mutual interest.

Normally, my answer for a question like this would be my Asperger’s syndrome. In the Coachella Valley, that sets me apart from most people and makes me “diverse” more so than anything else about me. However, at Caltech, that likely isn’t the case. Instead, my greatest contribution to Cal Tech’s diversity is that I am from the Coachella Valley. Here, STEM is not very big. Outside of the standard science and math classes, there are not any good programs for learning about STEM. There were some STEM-specific classes, but those just involved a teacher giving an assignment on a website for the class to do without teaching important information or skills. The classes were mostly something that students would choose so that they could play on computers

In our ever evolving society we seem to be having a greater affinity to technical jobs and careers more integrated with our technology. It appears that we are heading into a world of Science, Technology , Engineering, and Mathematics or STEM. The STEM fields that are rapidly increasing relate to jobs that deal quite a bit with our newer technology and the creation and development of new and more efficient technologies. To compliment this increase in STEM careers, we need to focus our time, energy, and most of all capital on the lackluster STEM program in our school systems.

ANU Science Communication & Marketing was preparing to launch a brand new project called ‘12 Ideas that will change the world’ to promote PhD research to potential new students, and policy makers. It is a project that one PhD student from each research school will be selected for a photo gallery or videos exploring the ways that PhD research can make a difference to the world. The main objective of this project was to attract future research students and make them excited about ANU STEM research. A secondary objective was to join the race with other global high ranking universities who are promoting their research through various strategies and engaging global talents. The long term objective was to get more students to enroll in STEM degrees at the ANU that will help ANU

Jeffrey Mervis interviewed educators about their efforts to improve undergraduate STEM education. Daniel Goroff, a mathematician at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California, tells his students, “Science is done in connected communities rather than

It is clear that STEM is a rapidly growing and advancing field that is needed for our human progression. There are so many different professions that fall under STEM education and many of them impact the world every day. According to former President Barack Obama "[Science] is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world" (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Here, former President Obama is talking about how important science is as more than just a school subject; science can be taken out of school and used to impact many people and change the world. Some may say that there have been other fields in history that became very popular but
