Engineering Day at San Jacinto College featured breakout sessions with engineers and guest speaker Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, professor and director of the University of Houston STEM Center and former NASA astronaut.
From July 29 - Aug 2, ASAS Chicago hosted STEM CampUs at Illinois Institute of Technology. Sponsored by Teza Technologies, STEM CampUs focused on high school, college and career readiness, with a specific focus on entrepreneurship and the STEM fields.
Secretary Walker moderated an engaging panel discussion on the Future of STEM in Health Care during the STEM Council’s STEM Symposium on May 2 at Delaware State University in Dover. “I see STEM everywhere and in everything,” Dr. Marsha Horton, dean for DSU’s College of Education, Health and Public Policy, told the more than 150 students in the audience. Across the country, there are more than 4.5 million unfilled STEM positions in all fields.
“Most people think of health care in a hospital as doctors or nurses … however, there is a support mechanism that cares for your family and friends,” said Michael Maksmow, vice president and chief information officer for Beebe Healthcare. And information technology is behind much of that support – from keeping the lights and HVAC systems working, to analyzing clinical data, to biomedical engineering.
Secretary Walker, who is a board-certified family physician, told the students that she and Regina Sims Wright, associate dean for diversity at UD’s College of Health Sciences, both participated in FAME, a Delaware nonprofit that prepares and motivates students, especially minorities and girls, to pursue college degrees and careers in STEM. Because of FAME, Secretary Walker said she got a full scholarship to UD to study chemical engineering and spent summers working at Merck. “Chemical engineering is not the easiest way to get to med school,” the Secretary said.
Dean Wright said her PhD is in psychology and she has used that degree to pursue research, including cardiovascular health and cognitive function in older adults. She urged the students to consider STEM-related research and teaching as potential careers. “Diversity is really important,” Secretary Walker added. She said there weren’t enough minority professors for her to look up when she was in college, medical school and graduate school.
Dean Horton said the look and the process of health and allied sciences are changing, and a different skill set will be needed in the next generation. As an example, she asked Dr. Chris Mason to tell the students about research he is doing with Dr. Von Homer on biomechanics and motion analysis and applying it to professional athletes to help reduce injuries. The researchers demonstrated how they are collecting data using sensors that connect to a subject’s legs and feet and that mirror the person’s movements onto a nearby computer.
