It goes without saying that STEM education will have a significant advantage and will equip graduates a higher salary than those who lack the necessary STEM skills to survive in the changing world; from aerospace engineering, astrophysics, astronomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, neurobiology, nuclear physics and robotics in addition to the traditional areas such as engineering, chemistry to computer science, it is quite evident that STEM fields of study are impacting virtually every component of our everyday lives.
The STEM acronym was introduced in 2001 by scientific administrators at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The organization previously used the acronym SMET and one of the first NSF projects to use the acronym was STEMTEC, the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Teacher Education Collaborative at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which was founded in 1998. However, even after 21 years once it was introduced to the USA, the STEM implementation in Sri Lanka need much attention. However, it is never too late to implement the STEM education policies even now.
Some of the trending jobs in the field of STEM involve, Computer Network Architect, Information Security Analyst, Software Developer, Operations Research Analyst, Mathematician, Statistician, Paediatrician and Civil Engineer. Start a STEM major today and enhance your future, while gaining long-term success.
