In this Step type 2 project, the investigators are examining evidence for educational pathways to STEM careers using several different sources of national survey data. They are studying how high school course taking, test scores, and type of school attended is related to later career choice in college. They are examining the diversity of preparation for college for students of different backgrounds, the connection between STEM degree attainment and college credits and early college performance, and they are examining the connection between work experience during undergraduate years and STEM labor force entry.The researchers are using well-known national longitudinal survey data of high school and college students as well as conducting a new survey of students.

在这个第2步项目中，研究人员正在使用几个不同的国家调查数据来源来研究STEM职业教育途径的证据。他们正在研究高中课程、考试成绩和就读的学校类型与后来的大学职业选择之间的关系。他们正在研究不同背景的学生为大学做准备的多样性，STEM学位获得与大学学分和大学早期表现之间的联系，他们正在研究本科期间的工作经验与STEM劳动力进入之间的联系。研究人员使用了著名的全国高中生和大学生纵向调查数据，并对学生进行了一项新的调查。
