"The impact (of too few engineers) is also significant for Ford Motor Company as we have gone through our restructuring and as the distribution of our workforce continues to change. As our “baby boomer” population prepares to retire, the supply of replacement engineering candidates will be under severe competitive pressure.

The idea of speaking up and asking for what you want in this world is important. I would not havebecome Astronaut Luca Parmitano’s mentee had I not asked. I would not be attending his first launch into space if I had not asked. The truth is, I often say I am lucky to have these experiences, but all my amazing experiences have stemmed from me asking others to help me. If you don’t ask, people will not know what you want or how they can help you. Delete the scoop?

"Host Melissa Harris-Perry was joined by an all-female panel on Saturday to discuss S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and its relationship to girls in our country. They addressed how important each of the S.T.E.M. fields are in promoting self-esteem and nourishing potential, as well as in eliminating negative stereotypes for women. First lady Michelle Obama spoke about this topic during a speech in 2011: 'Young people, particularly our girls, need to understand that doctors and scientists are something that anyone can become, no matter how much money your family has, no matter where you come from, or whether you are a man or a woman–and that message is more important than ever in today’s world.' A major deterrent for females is the existing stereotype that girls are not as good at math as boys. Corbett noted a study from Stanford University: 'Among the girls and boys with the same mathematical achievement in test scores and grades, the girls assess themselves lower.'" | via MSNBC Via Todd Reimer Delete the scoop?
