Technical person
Technical person, a person having STEM degree or person possess degree in lab-based science, technology, mathematics and engineering.
People who are attained STEM degree contain common set of traits. These traits make him ideal scientist, technologist, mathematician and engineer.
What do you mean by STEM?
STEM, this term often found in university advertisement, campaign, website, leaflet etc. but most of the people is not sure what does it mean. Here is the solution-
The term STEM define Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and relevant subjects that are all under these basic subject.
Due to these subjects are not straight forward so series of subjects are undergo these subjects. Different terms are used in place of STEM as STREAM and METALS but the term STEM is more widely used.
Though these subjects are widely distributed but huge volume of vacancy found the respective field. From its beginning of STEM, various types of institutions are try to attract the students/people. STEM courses are the top most priority of the most of the counties to remove the shortfall.
STEM subjects the best option for the people who are searching for a longtime to be a resident to the other country/ immigration to expected country. This also beneficial for all type of students who want to study in higher level in different countries.
What are STEM subjects?
The STEM subjects [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] is not standalone, various type of subjects are closely related/derived from STEM so they are also STEM subjects. Here is the list of some STEM subjects-
- Aerospace engineering
- Astronomy
- Biology
- Biochemistry
- Chemistry
- Chemical engineering
- Civil engineering
- Computer science
- Electrical engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Psychology
- Statistics
This list is far more extensive, the list will be more distributed based the basic criteria. This list my helpful for someone who are really searching for STEM subject and he will get som idea about the pattern of the STEM subjects.
The career prospects of some the subjects is more exclusive such Astronomy leads to the straight forward career patch than others subjects which tends to multiple career facility. Most of the STEM related subjects tends to more valuable sector such as Finance, Accounts, Aerospace, Cinema, Special Effects, Design and communications, Sportswear, consistency, Farming, Telecoms, Energy, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Medical device etc.
What is the current situation in the practical field?
The history says, most of the STEM degree holders are male compare to Female. Introducing women in technical field is not satisfactory, the completion is less to female. More than Eight times male are more involve than female in STEM subjects related activities.
About 12% women are graduated in STEM degree; only 3% engage in practical field others are tend to alternative sector or stop to practice. The gender balance is dominant tend to pay gap in STEM field. More than 30% pay gab observed in in Australia at 2013. A remarkable initiative to be taken in this field to fill up the gender gap in STEM related subject.
