1. What is STEM:
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) This strand is designed for students who desire to
pursue college degrees centered on Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Why choose STEM?
•Flexibility within their
profession to pursue
multiple career paths
• Average starting
compensation
outpaces careers in
other fields
•High level of personal
and job satisfaction
•Graduates make a
positive contribution to
society.
US STEM jobs are projected to grow
8.8%.
Between 2017 and 2029, the
number of STEM jobs will grow
8 percent, a higher rate than non-
STEM jobs—with positions in
computing, engineering, and
advanced manufacturing leading
the way.

Statistics)
The median annual wage of
STEM occupations in 2020 was
$$89,780.
This is well over double of
that of non-STEM
occupations, where the
median annual wage came in
at $$40,020. (Via the Bureau

2. Why you should love Stem? Stem for me is the course you should take for my future. It can help gain knowledge
for space lovers, wanted to cure the sick for the people who dream to be an engineer, architect or program devices.
Science, Medicine and Structures will be improved when you go to Stem.
3. STEM teaches critical thinking and innovation The focus on logical thought processes and problem-solving allows students to develop
mental habits that will help them succeed in any field. STEM coursework challenges students to think critically and come up with their own
solutions. Results suggest that choosing a STEM major is directly influenced by intent to major in STEM, high school math achievement, and
initial postsecondary experiences, such as academic interaction and financial aid receipt.
