All in Women in STEM
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; better known as the STEM Fields, receive a lot of attention in the modern world. This is no doubt a function of the societal returns from the fields themselves, as we collectively seem to desire to progress towards an increasingly technological future.
It is common knowledge that the majority of workers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields are men. SUNY Poly’s 66:34 male:female ratio is a testament to this fact. Studies were taken to determine why this gender gap is, and countless articles have been written on the subject. The outcome of these works is always similar, claiming that discrimination against women in professional fields causes young women to avoid STEM majors.
