the good news is that sfusd enrolls above average students. as you know advanced placement or college level courses and here the sfusd students out shine considerably. generally 15 percent or more take a p classes. you see that female high school students outnumber males in biology but not in physics and environmental science. so what does this all mean? the good news is that sfusd has a higher enrollment in many stems courses as a whole and enrollment shows that female students are well prepared to be prepared college applicants. the only problem is access. many of the courses are not offered at high school campuses. the largest group of stem jobs is within computer and math. that's about half of stem employment. next is engineering and surveying occupation about 1 third. 12 percent if physical and life sciences and 12 percent in stem management. the question i have is whether they are going to be in the job market and stem doesn't guarantee careers. we have to examine course content and course availability and career guidance. i think in the

we have jim ryan, the new executive director for sfusd presenting how the initiative has been going. before we open up the presentation i want to allow any member of our committee to make any comments if you would like. seeing none, we'll move to our presentation. thank you miss ryan. >> just over five 5 months i have been in the position, one of the questions that comes up over again is have we aggregated engineering technology into an acronym and what does that mean. one of the things that we've tried to convey is that stem is neither a job nor a class. i worked as an engineer before becoming an administrator and the job i hold now is the first one that held the acronym stem in it. what we mean is that each of these elements has a connective tissue which enables those that are educated in these fields to problem solve. now whether that be as a scientist where you develop a hypothesis and test it in a labor whether it be an engineer in which you brainstorm, build perrot types, test them, have them fail and reiterate that prototype, what you are teaching students to do and what as en

i just want to share with you 12 slides about girls in stem at sfusd. there are two sources of this information. we have male graduate students do a full study and i vet bridges the community outreach at google gave a presentation on women and status. the good news is we have gender parody in the work force and education but still not stem jobs and women are in the work force and college enrollment but a huge gap with men and women in stem jobs. over all increases in u.s. demand for scientist and engineers, we are going to see a much greater demand. we try to encourage women in the
