The United States is struggling with a serious shortage of technology-based professionals, including engineers, scientists and mathematicians. SECME has proven to be highly successful in helping educationally disadvantaged students excel in math and science so they can become the technology-based professionals that America needs. Industry knows it can count on SECME for a well-trained STEM workforce.
