Developing Workforce with Mathematical Modeling Skills
SIAM Review, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 778-792, November 2024. Mathematicians have traditionally been a select group of academics who produce high-impact ideas enabling substantial results in several fields of science. Throughout the past 35 years, undergraduates enrolling in mathematics or statistics have represented a nearly constant proportion of approximately 1% of bachelor degrees awarded in the United States. Even within STEM majors, mathematics or statistics only constitute about 6% of undergraduate degrees awarded nationally. However, the need for STEM professionals continues to grow, and the list of required occupational skills rests heavily in foundational concepts of mathematical modeling curricula, where the interplay of data, computer simulation, and underlying theoretical frameworks takes center stage. It is not viable to expect a majority of these STEM undergraduates to pursue a double major that includes mathematics. Here we present our solution, some early results of its implementation, and a vision for possible nationwide adoption.
期刊介绍:
Survey and Review feature papers that provide an integrative and current viewpoint on important topics in applied or computational mathematics and scientific computing. These papers aim to offer a comprehensive perspective on the subject matter.
Research Spotlights publish concise research papers in applied and computational mathematics that are of interest to a wide range of readers in SIAM Review. The papers in this section present innovative ideas that are clearly explained and motivated. They stand out from regular publications in specific SIAM journals due to their accessibility and potential for widespread and long-lasting influence.
