23. Push to Outer Space (STEM) global competitiveness, the slowing economy, need for innovation and creativity demands we ask ?’s to inform policy, practice and producing STEM talent technology is used across and within all careers, we need to understand the knowledge and skills that effective professional, technical and service workers must have to create technology enriched STEM work environments
25. Aerospace : “would involve spacecraft design and construction, military defense systems like missiles and rockets, satellite and telecommunication technologies and GPS.” Biosciences: “would involve agricultural feedstock and chemicals; drugs and pharmaceuticals; medical devices and equipment; and research, testing and medical laboratories.” Energy: “would involve mining; oil and gas exploration, development and production; alternative and renewable energy research and development; including solar and wind power; and various green projects like hybrid and hydrogen engines.” Information Technology: “would involve computers and computer networks, including the Internet; wireless and cellular communications; and computer hardware and software development and support.”
26. Why STEM, Why Now In the last 50 years, more than half of US sustained economic growth was fueled by engineers, scientists and advanced-degree technologists, a mere 5% of US 132 M person workforce.

50. Where are the jobs? Many governments are promoting growth, competitiveness, and employment. But hoping that advanced “clean” technologies can create work on a large scale will probably be disappointed, because these sectors are just too small to make an economy-wide difference. The local-business and household-services sectors are a much better bet: from 1995 to 2005, services generated all net job growth in high-income economies. Low-tech “green” activities, such as improving the insulation of buildings and replacing obsolete heating and cooling equipment, could generate more jobs than renewable technologies can. To learn more, read “Where the US will find growth and jobs” (March 2010). McKinsey
51. “Renewable energy technologies — what I call “ET” — are going to constitute the next great global industry. They will rival and probably surpass “IT” — information technology. The country that spawns the most ET companies will enjoy more economic power, strategic advantage and rising standards of living. We need to make sure that is America.”Tom Friedman, NY Times 9.2.08
52. What Tasks Are Performed at work? Expert Thinking . . . diagnosing an illness or auto problem beyond computer analysis NO Complex Communication . . .

53. Key Global Trends Defining Future Work (stress & opportunities for innovate and change) 1. Great Rebalancing Emerging market countries (BRIC &P) creating more growth than developed ones.(innovation in product design, market infrastructure, value chains) 2. Productivity or LostDeveloped economies must increase productivity to see growth. (labor costs)
54. 3. Social Networks Drive Global Grid Geo matters less…capital, goods, info, people use social networks to create large scale interactions at any moment. 4. Pricing the Planet Collision: rising demand for resources-limited supplies-environ attitudes = inc. focus on resource productivity + clean tech industries +regulation initiatives

69. 4. Implications for Learning The best jobs are filled by those who can manipulate symbols, scan and comprehend reading material quickly, and write (communicate) persuasively and technically; are part Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) expert and part marketing specialist; are technically savvy; are those who see challenges as problems to be solved; and have convincing intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that can attract, motivate, and inspire followers.
70. Implications for Learning 2 Opportunities to learn are everywhere. The obstacles of time and place no longer exist as learners can access educational opportunities anytime and anyplace in multiple formats.
71.
72. Implications for Learning 4 Technological dissemination means that instruction is becoming more student-centric, encourages cooperative learning, stimulates (ironically) student/teacher interaction, and helps students take greater responsibility for learning.
73. Implications for Learning 5 Since information drives the workplace, the timeliness of workers’ information impacts their ability to add value. Accessing, evaluating and disseminating information via the Internet provides unlimited “learning on demand” opportunities.
74. Implications for Learning 6 Flexible, efficient, readily accessible and customer friendly learning opportunities are typically becoming competency based and partnership dependent.
75. Implications for Learning 7 In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, all students need to develop their capabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.
