This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. system of graduate education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has served the nation and its science and engineering enterprise extremely well. Over the course of their education, graduate students become involved in advancing the frontiers of discovery, as well as in making significant contributions to the growth of the U.S. economy, its national security, and the health and well-being of its people. However, continuous, dramatic innovations in research methods and technologies, changes in the nature and availability of work, shifts in demographics, and expansions in the scope of occupations needing STEM expertise raise questions about how well the current STEM graduate education system is meeting the full array of 21st century needs. Indeed, recent surveys of employers and graduates and studies of graduate education suggest that many graduate programs do not adequately prepare students to translate their knowledge into impact in multiple careers. Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century examines the current state of U.S. graduate STEM education. This report explores how the system might best respond to ongoing developments in the conduct of research on evidence-based teaching practices and in the needs and interests of its students and the broader society it seeks to serve. This will be an essential resource for the primary stakeholders in the U.S. STEM enterprise, including federal and state policymakers, public and private funders, institutions of higher education, their administrators and faculty, leaders in business and industry, and the students the system is intended to educate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where advanced knowledge is widespread and low-cost labor is readily available, U.S. advantages in the marketplace and in science and technology have begun to erode. A comprehensive and coordinated federal effort is urgently needed to bolster U.S. competitiveness and pre-eminence in these areas. This congressionally requested report by a pre-eminent committee makes four recommendations along with 20 implementation actions that federal policy-makers should take to create high-quality jobs and focus new science and technology efforts on meeting the nation's needs, especially in the area of clean, affordable energy: 1) Increase America's talent pool by vastly improving K-12 mathematics and science education; 2) Sustain and strengthen the nation's commitment to long-term basic research; 3) Develop, recruit, and retain top students, scientists, and engineers from both the U.S. and abroad; and 4) Ensure that the United States is the premier place in the world for innovation. Some actions will involve changing existing laws, while others will require financial support that would come from reallocating existing budgets or increasing them. Rising Above the Gathering Storm will be of great interest to federal and state government agencies, educators and schools, public decision makers, research sponsors, regulatory analysts, and scholars.

Download or read book Policy Implications of International Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy Implications of International Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars in the United States explores the role and impact of students and scholars on US educational institutions and the US economy. The nation has drawn increasingly on human resources abroad for its science and engineering workforce. However, competition for talent has grown as other countries have expanded their research infrastructure and created more opportunities for international students. The report discusses trends in international student enrollments, stay rates, and examines the impact of visa policies on international mobility of the highly skilled.
Download or read book The Foreign Student Factor written by Lewis C. Solmon and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information is provided on issues related to the presence of international students in U.S. institutions of higher education, focusing on the general characteristics, goals, and attitudes of the foreign students in relation to those of their American counterparts. Five sections include: (1) general characteristics (gender, age, marital status, family background, and personal goals); (2) selection of institutions (quality considerations, recommendations of others, and financial considerations); enrollments (undergraduates, graduate students, full-time and part-time students, and college age population); (3) enrollments (opening fall enrollment and full-time equivalent counts by type of institution); (4) quality of student and institutional quality (student qualifications and degrees awarded by institutions of varying selectivity); and (5) students' aspirations and types of degrees (life and career goals, school goals, and types of degrees by level). Overall, foreign students are a small factor in American higher education. They are more similar to, than different from, American students in many respects. The tuition they pay in public institutions more closely reflects actual costs than what is paid by domestic students, and they often fill empty seats not sought by Americans. The impact of foreign students on American higher education is minute (in 1982, 22,631 bachelor's degrees went to foreign students and 924,246 went to citizens). The data reviewed gives little reason not to welcome foreign students to American institutions of higher education. Tables are included. Contains 8 references. (SM)
Download or read book Statistical Regression and Classification written by Norman Matloff and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical Regression and Classification: From Linear Models to Machine Learning takes an innovative look at the traditional statistical regression course, presenting a contemporary treatment in line with today's applications and users. The text takes a modern look at regression: * A thorough treatment of classical linear and generalized linear models, supplemented with introductory material on machine learning methods. * Since classification is the focus of many contemporary applications, the book covers this topic in detail, especially the multiclass case. * In view of the voluminous nature of many modern datasets, there is a chapter on Big Data. * Has special Mathematical and Computational Complements sections at ends of chapters, and exercises are partitioned into Data, Math and Complements problems. * Instructors can tailor coverage for specific audiences such as majors in Statistics, Computer Science, or Economics. * More than 75 examples using real data. The book treats classical regression methods in an innovative, contemporary manner. Though some statistical learning methods are introduced, the primary methodology used is linear and generalized linear parametric models, covering both the Description and Prediction goals of regression methods. The author is just as interested in Description applications of regression, such as measuring the gender wage gap in Silicon Valley, as in forecasting tomorrow's demand for bike rentals. An entire chapter is devoted to measuring such effects, including discussion of Simpson's Paradox, multiple inference, and causation issues. Similarly, there is an entire chapter of parametric model fit, making use of both residual analysis and assessment via nonparametric analysis. Norman Matloff is a professor of computer science at the University of California, Davis, and was a founder of the Statistics Department at that institution. His current research focus is on recommender systems, and applications of regression methods to small area estimation and bias reduction in observational studies. He is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Statistical Computation and the R Journal. An award-winning teacher, he is the author of The Art of R Programming and Parallel Computation in Data Science: With Examples in R, C++ and CUDA.

Download or read book America Calling written by Rajika Bhandari and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in middle-class India, Rajika Bhandari has seen generations of her family look westward, where an American education means status and success. But she resists the lure of America because those who left never return—they all become flies trapped in honey in a land of opportunity. As a young woman, however, she finds herself heading to a US university to study, following her heart and a relationship. When that relationship ends and she fails in her attempt to move back to India as a foreign-educated woman, she returns to the US and finds herself in a job where the personal is political and professional: she is immersed in the lives of international students who come to America from over 200 countries, the universities that attract them, and the tangled web of immigration that a student must navigate. An unflinching and insightful narrative that explores the global appeal of a Made in America education that is a bridge to America’s successful past and to its future, America Calling is both a deeply personal story of Bhandari’s search for her place and voice, and an incisive analysis of America’s relationship with the rest of the world through the most powerful tool of diplomacy: education. At a time of growing nationalism, a turning inward, and fear of the “other,” America Calling is ultimately a call to action to keep America’s borders—and minds—open.
Download or read book Graduate and First professional Students written by Susan P. Choy and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet summarizes findings from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, concerning graduate and first-professional students. The booklet's introduction indicates that, of the 2.8 million postsecondary students enrolled in 1995-96, 56 percent were enrolled in master's degree programs, 12 percent in doctoral programs, 12 percent in first-professional programs, and 20 percent in nondegree programs. The next section provides more detail on master's degree students, breaking down enrollments into the following categories: business administration (where 51 percent of students received financial aid); education (where 41 percent received aid); and arts or science (where 58 percent received aid). The section on doctoral degree students notes that 70 percent were in Ph.D. programs, 12 percent in Ed.D. programs, and 18 percent in other doctoral programs. This section notes that while two-thirds of Ph.D. students received financial aid, relatively few Ed.D. students received financial aid, reflecting the predominantly part-time enrollment and full-time employment of ED. students. The section on first-professional students notes that 74 percent borrowed money to finance their education an average of $47,700 for law students and $55,900 for medical students graduating in 1995-96. Data are presented in 10 tables and charts. (DB)
