Licensed and STEM Professions

What follows is a breakdown of the STEM professions by field:
Click Here for a comprehensive listing of STEM professions [1.77MB .pdf file]

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) may best be defined as a large grouping of related and inter-related professions and fields that serve as the imaginative foundation for our innate human ability to affect evolution. STEM professionals are needed in every phase and facet of industry on the planet. They are the navigators and explorers of our last frontiers: ocean and space; the eradicators of devastating diseases, such as tuberculosis and polio; and the thinkers, designers, inventors, and developers of machines, tools, medicines, gadgets, and gizmos that influence every aspect of our existence. One need only consider what life would be like without a bridge, airplane, road, or tunnel, or what the world would be like without the computer, laser, or mobile phone, to realize the impact of STEM professions and professionals’ contributions to mankind and society.

Further, STEM professions provide unique opportunities to confront important ethical questions and considerations as they pertain to our values, desires, and vision for the human race. These professions, while charting new frontiers, enlivening the job market, and improving our way of life, are faced with innovations that are paradoxically detrimental to society. New technologies render certain jobs and workers obsolete. Similarly, the very technologies which help us to live more efficiently and effectively, often cause significant pressures on the environment.

This ever-shifting amalgam that is human advancement requires of its constituents a habit of constant learning, drive, and curiosity in order to keep up with the increasingly difficult challenges to society and the environment. However, it is the STEM professionals, more than any other group, that stand to make the most significant impact in reversing our seemingly, headlong rush into environmental disaster.
