Innovate-Educate Works to Advance STEM Education
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Feb. 26, 2009) – Innovate-Educate New Mexico (IENM) will host its first national conference to advance engineering and science education on April 30, May 1 and May 2 at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
This annual event will bring together state and national leaders in industry, education, and government to coordinate existing efforts and collaborate on new ideas that engage students in the science and engineering fields to prepare a competitive workforce in the U.S.
“Today, we are faced with a national challenge that hits the core of our economy: we are failing to graduate engineering and science students to meet the demands of a competitive world driven by productive and innovative markets,” says Jami Grindatto, Intel’s New Mexico Corporate and Government Affairs Director. “Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are the innovators’ basic tools to solve the world’s most pressing issues, create products and deliver services that improve our lives. New Mexico and the United States must increase the number of graduates in engineering and sciences. This is Innovate-Educate New Mexico’s main objective to secure long-term economic health.”
The goal of the Innovate-Educate New Mexico 2009 Conference is to initiate such efforts and create new opportunities for education professionals to advance and improve engineering and science education. It is IENM’s goal that these efforts serve as a national model by delivering substantive improvements in engineering and science education by applying best practices in a coordinated and methodical way. IENM’s leadership believes that all stakeholders have to engage to achieve success.
Mark your calendars for the IENM’s 2009 Conference on April 30, May 1 and May 2.
