Summary of Recommendations:

Establish strategic and tactical councils, committees, and task forces to further develop Summit recommendations and coordinate their implementation

1. Initiate and enhance marketing and outreach efforts to assure that all students and their parents understand the opportunities available to them and the steps required to reach them
2. Enhance curriculum and standards to include engineering & technology to achieve several overlapping goals: enhance problem solving skills of all students; motivate students in traditional disciplines including math and science; provide technical literacy to all students; and impart insights on wide variety of career opportunities and possible pathways to these careers.
3. Grow and enhance professional development programs that allow K12 and college faculty to more effectively deliver STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics) curricula and assure consistency between the outcomes of courses and the prerequisites of subsequent courses.
4. Enhance funding to achieve these goals from federal, state, and private sources through collaboration among stake holders.
