ENRICHING Culture TO BUHD A BETTER MIAMI.
LEONIDAS G. BACHAS
Dean of the UM College of Arts and Sciences
The state of STEM
Read a transcript of Dean Bachas's appearance on a south Florida Buisness Journal Critical Conversations panel about the state of sTEM education in south Florida. Visit http://bit.ly/STEMpanel or scan this QR code with your smartphone reader to learn more about how the college's science, math and technology teaching is impacting our community and the world.
Recently the public has become increasingly concerned with a growing need for improved education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, citing shortages of skilled workers. One recent study estimates that more than 3 million new jobs in STEM fields will require a bachelor's degree or higher by 2018. In Washington, in Tallahassee and here in Miami, politicians are hammering out incentives to attract and retain STEM workers. As policymakers and business leaders seek new ways to ramp up STEM education, the College of Arts and Sciences is driving efforts in key areas including fundamental science, technology, and math.
Our STEM initiatives center upon cutting-edge research. The college's faculty study critical topics in math, science, and technology, working to improve our world and solve problems in the environment, healthcare, and industry. They're building new predictive models, programming robots with artificial intelligence, mapping and measuring brain function, creating new materials for biomedical applications, among countless other pursuits. Hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students assist with this research, putting UM graduates on the front lines of discovery and innovation. Every student in a STEM field has an opportunity to launch a career with real-world applications of classroom concepts and experience working on emerging issues.
Encouraging student research experiences is just one way that we connect with businesses and the community to anticipate needs and meet demand for STEM skills in the workplace. This year, the college launched two five-year accelerated
B.S.-master's programs to get highly qualified researchers into businesses faster. UM's Toppel Career Center also collaborates with companies like Google, Microsoft, Motorola, Citrix, Lockheed Martin, major healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies to equip students with the professional skills they need for internships and jobs. Outside of the university, our faculty and students work in Miami-Dade high schools to prepare underserved children to attend college to study science, math, and technology. These partnerships and initiatives are just a few examples of how we're improving the workforce from the campus.
The college's commitment to a broad-based education also ensures that all students gain the science, technology, and math skills needed in the careers they pursue. Every undergraduate in the college must demonstrate competency in science, math, and technology, no matter his or her major. Conversely, STEM majors must demonstrate writing and communication skills to help them effectively convey ideas. Coupled with academic rigor and opportunities for exploration, this broad, inclusive approach attracts top students with diverse interests. We recently launched the da vinci program, which encourages high achieving students with interests in both science and humanities or the arts to study across disciplines.
by instilling the fundamental values of critical inquiry and analysis as well as researching the most pressing issues of our time, our college is working to create a smarter, more productive society. Through the development of a comprehensive, relational curriculum, we cultivate curiosity, creativity, and conceptual thinking within a new generation of leaders.
