The Analysis of the Current Problems of the General Science Education of the US and the Implications on the Necessities for the Promotion of Scientific Workforce
Why It Deserves Interest
1. On the personal level, it is a significant topic as I am a science major and exploring this topic will allow me to look back on what it might truly mean to delve into a scientific career.
2. The development of a strong scientific and engineering workforce is crucial to a nation's competitive power in global competitions. As the US's leadership in science and engineering has been threatened by other rising nations, the problem brings up a significant question on what may be some crucial factors in maintaining national competitiveness of scientific research and engineering.
