The document discusses trends placing pressure on American industry and education to change, including increasing globalization, rapid changes in science and technology, and demographic shifts. It notes that skills and knowledge in STEM fields are merging, requiring workers and learners to be multi-disciplinary. Examples are provided of technical jobs in various industries that require integrated mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic skills. The document advocates for academic mergers across STEM disciplines and between academic and technical education to prepare students for in-demand jobs in areas like engineering, health care, advanced manufacturing, and information technology.

Public Schools had different tracks for high school
students who were going on to college and those pursuing
vocational training. This outdated model ultimately reduced
