Barriers and Opportunities for 2-Year and 4-Year STEM Degrees: Systemic Change to Support Students' Diverse Pathways (2016)

The Committee identified several obstacles and opportunities to complete the STEM degree within the STEM degree and found that there are several barriers and opportunities between them. In related cases, we explained the differences between the STEM fields.

The general analogy used to explain the movement of students to STEM degree is pipeline. This means that they have reached a certain level until they "leak" or until they "leak". This metaphor does not capture the complex way that today's students use the university to complete a degree. This report provides a new approach to today's students' intra-campus and interdisciplinary pathways and strategies (or lack of pathways and strategies) to acquire STEM degrees.

In 2010, about 40% of students of higher education institutions between 2 and 4 years had declared their intention to major in STEM, but about 2007% have plans to major in STEM from 2007. Overall, the number of STEM certificates in almost all STEM fields is increasing. At the same time, about half of the students who are interested in acquiring a degree in STEM and more than two-thirds who are interested in STEM's Associate Degree will be able to obtain these within 6 or 4 years I could not get my degree. , 2014). In addition, many students completing certificates spend more time than the length of commercials (Eagan et al., 2014; Van Noy and Zeidenberg, 2014), for example students who are eager to acquire a bachelor's degree. According to the information provided to them by the institution and biology department in biology, we will enter this course and expect to graduate within 4 years. If you extend your degree, you will incur higher costs than students and their families did not anticipate.

In order to know the student's STEM degree trajectory and the reason for staying or departing, it is necessary to answer many questions. Is the efficiency of STEM education paths lower than other research fields? Is the student more effective than the other students? If so, what is the structure and contribution of an effective model? When did the loss occur? How to minimize losses and achieve higher efficiency These problems are central to the committee's research.

It is important for national educational policies and plans to deepen their understanding of the current "institution" of two- and four-year STEM degrees. In addition to private higher education funding providers, efforts by federal and state agencies and divisions should be able to understand what factors, objectives, and under what circumstances the best possible data Analysis is necessary. Most data

Based on the persistence and completion rate of STEM and the survey of student's reasons for separation, two-year and four-year colleges consistently did not bring high quality educational experience and success to all STEM degree holders It is obvious. Especially support is necessary for the introductory course and the portal course. Conclusion 2 Science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) are interested in leading undergraduate education systems in a more complicated and new way. Completion of the student's degree program takes time. There are numerous student mobility patterns within school and between schools Coordination and management of student registration patterns influence the speed and degree of student's STEM degree I will.

2 and 4 STEM Degree Barriers and Opportunities: Systematic Changes to Support Students in Various Ways (2016)

More and more STEM applicants and those with STEM degrees or certificates are starting to graduate at a two-year university. This is especially true for students of Negro, Hispanic, American Indian. In addition, the motivation for STEM and graduates (reverse) from 4-year university to 2-year university are also increasing (Salzman and Van Noy, 2014). Likewise, the high school dual degree courses and pre-school courses, as well as the availability and registration rate of the International Diploma STEM program are also improving, both offer university level courses and are funded and accepted by many agencies I will. I'll accept it. The undergraduate STEM certificate increases the liquidity of the student and often has fewer units (because some units are not transferred) and may not be included in the requirements of the new academic year.
