1 Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA)

2 To be covered in this presentation: Industry s workforce crisis Science and math education in California: a grave challenge Why California needs MESA The MESA program Latest MESA data

3 Industry s workforce crisis In 2010, some 24,000 California jobs requiring science or engineering degrees went unfilled. Fewer than 20,000 science and engineering graduates are produced annually in our state. To fill state vacancies, California must increase the number of these graduates by 70%. Jobs that require science, engineering and technical training will increase 51% nationally. This means 6 million potential job openings.

4 National Job Trends in STEM: From 2000 to 2010, growth in STEM jobs (7.9 percent) was three times as fast as employment growth in non STEM jobs (2.6 percent) in the United States. In 2010, there were 7.6 million STEM workers in the nation, equating to about one in 18 workers, according to a 2011 research brief from the Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA). By 2018, STEM occupations will account for about 8.6 million jobs in the U.S. economy, up from 7.3 million in 2008, Georgetown University s Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) projected in a 2010 report. In a separate study in late 2011, focused on STEM education and occupations, CEW concluded that STEM is second only to healthcare as the fastest growing occupational category in the economy. Indeed, looking ahead, both ESA and CEW expect STEM employment to grow at a faster pace relative to other occupations. Through 2018, both research organizations forecast STEM occupations will grow by 17 percent, compared with slightly less than 10 percent growth for non STEM occupations.

5 Science and math education: A grave challenge California ranks 49 th among all states in students taking advanced science courses 48 th for eighth grade proficiency in science 35 th for high school students taking advanced math courses

6 Why California needs MESA The number of MESA high school seniors who went to college directly after graduation is higher than the state average. The UC eligibility rate for MESA s high school seniors is more than four times higher than the state average. *Stats for 12-13

7 Why California needs MESA The vast majority of MESA high school graduates go on to higher education. Stats for 12-13

8 Why California needs MESA Most MESA community college students transfer to four year institutions. 100% of MESA community college students transferred to four year institutions as science, engineering or math majors. Stats for 12-13

9 Why California needs MESA The MESA Engineering Program demonstrates a model that is applicable across all four year institutions.

10 MESA Works! MESA is a shining example of how schools, from primary to postsecondary, can form partnerships to work toward closing the achievement gap. Jack O Connell, State Schools Superintendent America is at a crossroads; how will we respond to the competitive pressures of a global workforce? MESA offers an important solution. Tom Springmeier, Texas Instruments MESA brings along students who are able to stay abreast of fastpaced technological changes. Yno Gonzalez, AT&T

11 Mission Statement MESA enables educationally disadvantaged students to prepare for and graduate from a four year college or university with a math based degree in areas such as engineering, the sciences, computer science, and mathematics. Through MESA, students develop academic and leadership skills, increase educational performance, and gain confidence in their ability to compete professionally. MESA has particular interest in and focus on students from those groups who historically have had the lowest levels of attainment to four year and graduate level programs. By closing this achievement gap, MESA students and graduates will be better able to make significant contributions to the socioeconomic wellbeing of their families and their communities.

12 To support the national science and mathematics educational agenda by ensuring that all MESA students are mathematically and scientifically literate so that they can play a leadership role in an increasingly technological world. Vision Statement

13 Who MESA Serves ( ) Total students served: 28,192 MSP: 20, elementary, middle and high schools MCCP: 4, California community colleges MEP: 3, CSU, 5 UC, 3 independent centers

14 MESA Statewide Data and Results Academic Year Student Outcomes: 24 percent went to the University of California 22 percent went to the California State University 21 percent went to the California Community Colleges 7percent went to independent California universities or colleges 26 percent went to other institutions, mostly out of state universities or colleges Of those MESA community college students who transferred to four year institutions, 97 percent entered these colleges and universities as math or science majors. Of the California MESA community college students who transferred to four year institutions, 49 percent transferred to the University of California 44 percent transferred to the California State University 7percent transferred to independent California universities and colleges, out of state universities and colleges, and others. California MESA is the model for similar programs in over a dozen other states. A national HP initiative used MESA as its model for a national community college initiative designed to increase the number of engineers and computer scientists who are African American, Latino American, American Indian, or women.
