“Our Children are the most important assets of our country; they deserve at least the heritage that was passed to us…a level of mathematics, science and technology education that is the finest in the world, without sacrificing the American birthright of personal choice, equity and opportunity.”
National Science Board Commission… a generation ago

Texas currently has 466,570 employed in scientific and technical positions (source: TWC)
The average high tech wage is $68,387 versus the average private sector wage of $35,695 (source NACE)
BUT:•Less than 15% of high school graduates have enough math and science to pursue scientific/technical degrees in college
•1 out of 4 math teachers have a math background
•1 out of 5 science teachers have a science background
•Only 2 out of 100 high school graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree
•Only 5 out of 1000 female graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree
•Only 5 out of 1000 African American and Hispanic high school graduates will obtain an engineering degree

2004 2014
5.08M jobs
6.3M jobs To meet current job forecasts, we need to add 122,000 engineers and scientists every year for a decade
“Ensuring college readiness and workforce readiness must be one of the primary aims of education. With the undeniable march towards a global, technology-based economy, that means our secondary schools must place a greater premium on science and math education.” –Gov. Rick Perry

THE U.S. WORKFORCE AND IT’S COMPETITION
•India is graduating twice as many students from college
•China is expected to graduate three times as many
•The Science and Engineering Pipeline today:
•Full-time Chinese engineering students is 3,700,000 versus 380,000 in the U.S.
•42% of students in China earn undergraduate degrees in science and engineering compared to 5% in the U.S.
•The U.S. will graduate 198,000 students to replace 2 million Baby Boomers in science and engineering scheduled to retire by 2010
