The growing complexity of both traditional and emerging missions is placing new demands on education, training, career development, system acquisition, platform sustainment, and development of operational systems. While in the past the Air Force's technologically intensive mission has been highly attractive to individuals educated in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, force reductions, ongoing military operations, and budget pressures are creating new challenges for attracting and managing personnel with the needed technical skills. Assessments of recent development and acquisition process failures have identified a loss of technical competence within the Air Force (that is, in house or organic competence, as opposed to contractor support) as an underlying problem. These challenges come at a time of increased competition for technical graduates who are U.S. citizens, an aging industry and government workforce, and consolidations of the industrial base that supports military systems. In response to a request from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and Engineering, the National Research Council conducted five fact-finding meetings at which senior Air Force commanders in the science and engineering, acquisition, test, operations, and logistics domains provided assessments of the adequacy of the current workforce in terms of quality and quantity"--Publisher's description. 606 $aMilitary engineering 606 $aMilitary education$zUnited States 606 $aArmed Forces$xVocational guidance 615 0$aMilitary engineering. 615 0$aMilitary education 615 0$aArmed Forces$xVocational guidance. 676 $a355.50973 712 02$aScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Society. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791777103321 996 $aExamination of the U.S. Air Force's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce needs in the future and its strategy to meet those needs$93786505 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03291nam 2200709 450 001 9910806168003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-252-09615-0 035 $a(CKB)3710000000202191 035 $a(EBL)3414369 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001266232 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11745144 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001266232 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11250035 035 $a(PQKB)11121107 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3414369 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001639680 035 $a(OCoLC)884725862 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse32423 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3414369 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10901917 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL629332 035 $a(OCoLC)889305823 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000202191 100 $a20140816h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aC.
