STEM Careers

2. Based on the scale of measurement for each variable listed below, which measure of central tendency is most appropriate for describing the data?

5. The Callos Companies is an organization that is linked with various companies to provide a broad range of human resources to businesses.

·  How were measures of central tendency used in the study? Did the study use the most appropriate measure of central tendency for the given data? Why or why not?

The example below lists the results for numbers 6-10. The measures of central tendency include mean, median, and mode. In this example the measures of central tendency will be calculated based on row B, which indicates the number of months that a particular employee has been with the company. The data being analyzed is the

For my Career Exploration Project, I chose the career of legal secretary. In the practice of law, a legal secretary is person who works in the legal profession, typically assisting lawyers. I chose legal secretary, because I have been exposed and aware of this profession for a while. My mother has been involved in the legal secretarial field of work for about two and a half years now. Seeing lawyers and their assistants on television first interested me in the career, but my mother being a legal secretary furthered my interest. My mother took me to her place of business a few times. I wasn’t able to see lawyers in full action, but I got to see my mom and some other legal secretaries in meetings and conferences.

For the measure of central tendency in this sample, I have chosen to use the mode. This gives the same result presented in the summary above, both for each category and for all overlapping categories. The mode for ethnicity is Caucasian; for gender is female; and for children is a lack thereof. To calculate variation, I also used the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV), which measures the percentage of difference between categories relative to the maximum possible differences. For example, when I used the IQV on my “Ethnicity” data points, I ended with a value of 20%. This means that 20% of the maximum possible differences for that category have been employed. The higher the value, the more diversity

Literature is very important from the start of your life time all the way to the end of your life time. You use literature in all career fields the career field I will use it in is CSI law enforcement. Also literacy is important to everyone I will explain how later.

The career field that I am interested in is being a clinical dietitian. A clinical dietitian works in a hospital and uses medical nutrition therapy to help her patients maintain health. She may work with patients with chronic diseases that need a specialized meal plan. She may also examine the nutrition levels of her patients and determine what nutritional deficiencies they may have. The overall goal for a clinical dietitian is to maintain the health of her patients. However, issues may arise concerning this goal. The clinical dietitian will have to work hard and be determined to keep patients from losing health, especially those who are already malnourished. Issues develop regarding health maintenance when there is miscommunication between the dietitian and patient, refusal of treatment from the patient, and treatment of the patient with the wrong nutritional information.

I am passionate about education and I am dedicated to ensuring that everyone, despite their socio-economic challenges, has an equal opportunity to be exposed to various STEM career opportunities. Historically, African-Americans tend to be excluded from the STEM field. Due to my commitment to increasing number of underrepresented minorities in STEM major, during my senior year in high school I launched The MASTERS After School Math Enrichment Program at The Potomac School in McLean, Virginia.

When I was a freshman, I took an engineering class not knowing anything about engineering. My teacher, Mr. Chubb, was also a mentor. He asked us to research the different types of engineering to see which field interested us. When I read about biomedical engineering, I knew that was the type of engineering I'd like to do. It includes designing robotic prosthetics to help people with physical disabilities overcome their challenges. Mr. Chubb encouraged us to join our school's robotic team to design and compete with robots. Competing was fun and exciting. From then on, I knew engineering was for me. This will be my 4th year in robotics. Engineering teaches me new ways to solve problems. San Antonio is home to many retired and wounded

Being a research scientist in life science is my number one career choice. In many ways, it also reflects my second, third, and fourth career choice. Scientists explore the unknown world. Educators devote to spread the knowledge. And professional basketball players commit themselves to extensive study and practice to master the skills of their profession. As a research scientist, I see myself incorporating all three. I want to master the skill of critical thinking, devote to spread the knowledge, and study to explore the unknown field of life science.

Our survey was created using the Qualtrics survey system. Participants needed access to a smart phone or computer with internet access to complete the survey. We gave the participants paragraphs about either a sociology major named James or Jane, or an engineering major named James or Jane. The conditions, which paragraph the student read, were randomly assigned to them but the questions were identical and in the same order for every participant. After reading the paragraph they were asked to rate how much they agreed with statements about the student. A 5 point Likert scale was used, where 1 was strongly disagree and 5 was strongly agree. The statements given to the participants were if the student had good work ethic, was naturally smart, and was going to continue their education post-graduation. There was

My career choice is Biotechnology. It is a branch of science that deals with the exploitation and manipulation of biological processes for the benefit of mankind. A biotechnologist uses developments based on cell biology, molecular biology and microbiology to produce products. They can work in various industries, these include; Agriculture, Health care and pharmaceuticals and also food manufacturing industries. Biotechnology has been practiced since ancient times after the development of the microscope, but it is later after genetics had been studied and incorporation of new technologies, such as bioinformatics and genomics were developed that it has been considered as a separate form of science. Products developed by biotechnologists include;

How would you feel if you lost a limb by choice or not? Growing up I was introduced to this question by accompanying my father to many of his MOPH, Military Order of the Purple Heart, meetings. During these meetings I saw many soldiers who had lost their legs, arms, or other parts of their bodies. I quickly realized how unfair their situations were and, I began to ask how can I give back to those who have lost their limbs? This led to me pursuing a career in biomedical engineering.

My major course of study at the moment is computer science, which I hope to put to use in a career related to computer programming, prioritizing a career in video game development. Computer programming has always interested me as well as video games, so I would like to work in an environment where I can do both. Though, depending on how the rest of my college career goes, I may find interest in another aspect of computer science, so nothing is set in stone. Even if I do go into a career in programming, it does not have to be in the video game industry. If something else along the way catches my interest I am open to a change in my path.
