What are the STEM majors in American universities?

There are four majors: science, engineering, engineering and mathematics.

1. After graduation, international students studying in the United States will be in the United States for 12 months of OPT (optional practical training) and study STEM.

That is, students majoring in science and technology, engineering and mathematics will get an extra 17 months, that is, a total of 29 months of OPT internship in the United States.

2. The STEM plan of American government is to attract talents, encourage students to major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and continuously increase investment in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, so as to cultivate students' scientific and technological literacy and enhance their global competitiveness.

3. The implementation of 3.STEM project is very helpful for international students of science and engineering to find jobs or internships. During the OPT internship, international students can have enough time to apply for a work visa and change their immigration status.

Extended data:

STEM course focuses on strengthening the education of students in four aspects:

One is scientific literacy, that is, using scientific knowledge (such as physics, chemistry, biological science and geospace science) to understand nature and participate in the process of influencing nature;

The second is technical literacy, that is, the ability to use, manage, understand and evaluate technology;

The third is engineering literacy, that is, understanding the design and development process of technical engineering;

Fourthly, mathematical literacy, that is, students' ability to find, express, explain and solve mathematical problems in various situations.

1986, the National Science Council of the United States published the report "Undergraduate Science, Mathematics and Engineering Education".

On June 365438+1October 3 1, 2006, US President Bush announced an important plan-"American Competitiveness Plan" in his State of the Union address.

competitiveness

Initiative (ACI) puts forward that one of the educational goals in the era of knowledge economy is to cultivate talents with STEM literacy, which is called the key to global competitiveness.

As a result, the United States has continuously increased its investment in STEM education, encouraged students to major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and cultivated students' scientific and technological literacy.
