STEM Pressures from Birth to Globalization: Five Related Models

摘要

The U.S. is becoming progressively more concerned about the impact of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills on the future of U.S. prosperity. Five independent system dynamics models have been developed to test policy proposals related to this problem. The Boeing Company, as the catalyst for development of three of these five models, was requested by this conference's organizing committee to host a special session on this topic. At this special session, all five models will be presented. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and briefly compare these five models. Details on each model are provided in the respective papers and special session presentations on each model.
