Generación STEM Mission
By September 2026, project evaluation will assess the achievement of the following Generación STEM goals:
- Percentage of STEM students in good academic standing at the end of their first semester
- Percentage of STEM students persisting to degree completion and graduating
- Matriculation rates for new STEM transfer students
- Percentage of transfer STEM students persisting to degree completion and graduating
- Number of STEM students participating in work-based learning experiences
- Number of STEM students participating in work-based experience preparation professional development
- Skills development of STEM faculty participating in culturally responsive professional development programming
Annual increases in outcomes are identified and results will be evaluated within the framework of a quasi-experimental design with impartial measurements of quantitative and qualitative data.
The Generación STEM Workforce Advisory Council is comprised of Texas State faculty and Texas State alumni professionals working in STEM fields. Council members share their expertise and recommendations to help our project expand work-based learning opportunities and develop skills-training workshops for Texas State STEM majors to ensure that our students are well prepared for employment in high-demand STEM occupations.
