  1. Math & Science: Gateways to STEM Degrees and Careers • John Lipp • STEM-H Coordinator • John Tyler Community College

  2. Agenda • Some Statistics • Virginia Placement Test & Developmental Math Modules • STEM Career & Education Opportunities • Math/Science Requirements • Four Years of High School Math • Early Placement Testing • Senior Capstone • Free College Math Preparation Materials

  3. Why STEM-H? • #1 issue facing Virginia businesses was STEM-H workforce development and education • Job Growth Is Nearly Double That Of Non-STEM-H Occupations • Wages Are 66% Higher in STEM Careers When Compared to General Occupations • 13.8% of all the jobs to be filled in the next 4 years are expected to be STEM-H. • Virginia needs to graduate 28% more STEM-H students to reach the national average

  4. Percent Of New STEM Careers

  5. Top 30 US News Best Jobs - 2014 All 30 Top Jobs Are STEM-H Careers!!! • Software Developer • Computer System Analyst • Dentist • Nurse Practitioner • Pharmacist • Registered Nurse • Physical Therapist • Physician • Web Developer • Dental Hygienist • Information Security Analyst • Database Administrator • Physician Assistant • Occupational Therapist • Market Research Analyst • Phlebotomist • Physical Therapy Assistant • Civil Engineer • Mechanical Engineer • Veterinarian • Occupational Therapist Assistant • Clinical Lab Technician • Operations Research Analyst • IT Manager • Dietitian/Nutritionist • Diagnostic Medical Sonographer • Massage Therapist • Veterinary Technician • Esthetician • Computer Programmer Associate’s Degree Basis: % Growth, Employment, Salary, Stress & Work-Life Balance Basis: % Growth, Employment, Salary, Stress & Work-Life Balance

  6. Health Occupations

  7. STEM-H @ John Tyler of Tyler students are enrolled in STEM-H Programs 22% 37% of 2012-13 graduates earned a STEM-H program credential

  8. John Tyler’s STEM-H Programs Of Study • Transfer Programs (AS Degrees) • Engineering • General Studies – Science Specialization • Information Systems • Secondary Teacher Education - Mathematics and Science • Work-related credentials (AAS or Certificate) • Architectural Engineering Technology • Information Technology: • Cisco Network , Computer Applications , Network Support , Program Development • Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics Technician Specialization • Nursing, Funeral Studies • Technical Studies • HVAC, Industrial/Residential Electricity , Mechanical Maintenance , Precision Machining Technology , Welding • Career Studies Certificates • 21 Program Majors

  9. John Tyler’s Other Programs Of Study • Transfer Programs (AS or AA degrees) • Business • General Studies • General Studies: • Logistics, Psychology, Teacher Education • Liberal Arts • Work-related credentials (AAS or Certificate) • Visual Arts • Accounting • Business Management • Early Childhood Development • Human Services • Police Science • Building Construction • Child Care • Fine Arts • General Education • Homeland Security • Career Studies Certificates

  10. Greatest Obstacle: College Readiness in Math • Over 60% of students entering community colleges require developmental math • Less than 25% of these students will graduate from college

  11. STEM-H Pipeline: Math Readiness Strategy 32% Were Not College Ready • Enhance college math readiness in high school graduates • Increase STEM-H career and education awareness Only 21% Chose STEM

  12. Impact of High School Math Courses on College Readiness Course Beyond Algebra II Doubles College Readiness

  13. College Level Math Qualifications • SAT Math: 520 or ACT Math: 22 • Placement Testing (VPT) • Complete Developmental Math Modules: • 1 – 3: Applied Technical Math & Intro to Math • 1 – 5: College Algebra • 1 – 9: Pre-Calculus

  14. Developmental Math Module Requirements Mod 1: Operations with Positive Fractions Mod 2: Operations with Positive Decimals & Percents Mod 3: Algebra Basics Mod 4: First Degree Equations and Inequalities in One Variable Mod 5: Linear Equations, Inequalities, & Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables Mod 6: Exponents, Factoring, and Polynomial Equations Mod 7: Rational Expressions and Equations Mod 8: Rational Exponents and Radicals Mod 9: Functions, Quadratic Equations, and Parabolas Intro to Math or Technical Math Non-Transfer AAS or STEM Certificate College Algebra: Gateway to Transfer or STEM AAS Pre-Calculus: Gateway to Transfer; Required for STEM majors

  15. Math Readiness Determines Students’ Choices of Major • Transfer Degree • Entry Course: Pre-Calculus (College Algebra) • Ending Course: Calculus or Statistics • AAS Degree (STEM-H) • Entry Course: College Algebra • Ending Course: Pre-Calculus • AAS/AAA Degree (non-STEM) • Entry Course: Introduction to Mathematics • Certificate (STEM) • Entry Course: Applied Technical Math

  16. . . . And the Science Courses They Can Enroll In • General Biology 101 • Math Prerequisite: Modules 1 – 3 or Equivalent • College Chemistry 111 • Math Prerequisite: Precalculus • College Physics 201 • Math Prerequisite: Precalculus or Calculus Many STEM majors require Chemistry.
