有越来越多的知识描述了美国所面临的经济和社会挑战,因为追求科学,技术,工程和数学(STEM)专业的学生人数很少(14%),而且越来越少。我们提出了一个简单的两阶段,基于社会影响理论的代理模拟预测STEM专业的%收益率。该模型表明,以最小(如果有的话)成本进行的更改可以使STEM产量增加一倍以上。例如,在头两年而不是最后两年分配面向STEM的教学人才可以增加约5.5%的产量。此外,根据STEM方向划分或隔离学生可以提高10%以上的产量。我们开始简要回顾有关STEM和社会影响理论的文献。接下来,我们描述了我们提出的模型和数值实验,使用标准的实验设计方法。最后给出了结论和对未来研究的建议。
There is a growing body of knowledge describing the economic and social challenge faced by the United States because of the small (14%) and decreasing number of students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors. We propose a simple two-period, agent-based simulation based on social impact theory to predict the % yield of STEM majors. The model indicates that changes with minimal (if any) cost could more than double the STEM yield. For example, allocating the STEM-oriented teaching talent in the first two years rather than in the last two years could increase yields by approximately 5.5%. Also, dividing or segregating students based on STEM orientation could increase yield by over 10%. We begin by briefly reviewing the literatures about STEM and social impact theory. Next, we describe our proposed model and numerical experiments using standard design of experiments methods. Finally, conclusions and suggestions for future research are provided.
