UCF Panel Discusses Challenges of Math and Science Education:
The United States needs to enhance K-12 math and science education and encourage more women and minorities to pursue careers in those fields, former Lockheed Martin Chairman and CEO Norm Augustine said Friday at a UCF forum.
Augustine headlined an expert panel that addressed the challenges of science, technology and math education from kindergarten through college. The briefing, organized by the University of Central Florida’s College of Engineering and Computer Science, aimed to merge ideas from the academic, political and business communities, which will need to work together to achieve the best results for kids and the nation.
While looking up additional information about the panel participants, I found that Mr. Augustine is a board member of the National Math & Science Initiative.
