PROPOSAL TO DESIGNATE Middle Tennessee State University’s Women In Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (WISTEM) Center Introduction and Statement of Need Recruitment, retention, and graduation of women with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) training are critical needs in Tennessee and in our nation. The low rate at which women are entering the STEM pipeline in high school and in college is troubling, especially since even low-paying jobs require a fundamental knowledge of STEM subjects. In 2006, the Tennessee Economic Council on Women (TECW) presented a report to the Governor and legislature [/sos/ecw/Biennial%20Report%202006.pdf] stating that there is a need for education and training for girls and women who want to be financially independent. However, many Tennessee women cannot take advantage of this education or training due to lack of information, lack of funding, and lack of basic needs such as childcare and transportation. TECW also noted that the average wages of high-demand traditional jobs are lower than the average wages of the high demand and nontraditional jobs such as those in STEM fields. Many women are not aware of the career opportunities, economic rewards, and job satisfaction in STEM in Tennessee and across the nation. The correlation between women’s economic status and ability to compete in the labor market with adequate skills and education is evident. The disparity of women in STEM is quite evident as shown in the National Science Board’s Science and Engineering Indicators 2008 [National Science Board, Science and Engineering Indicators 2008 Arlington VA (NSB 08-01; NSB 08-01A) January 2008]. The STEM workforce in the United States has grown rapidly with an average annual growth rate of 6.7% compared to a 1.6% rate for total employment. In contrast, from 1980 to 2000, the average annual total number of STEM degrees awarded was 1.5%, less than that 4.2% growth of STEM occupations. It is also important to
