To remain the world's proverb

 To remain the world's high-tech leader, we must have more and better educated students entering math and science fields. The growing math and science gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world is a potentially devastating crack in American competitiveness. The president has clearly recognized importance of this issue to our nation's economic strength.

 As a child I was captivated by the 1960s space program and technological innovations, and it inspired me to get an engineering degree. Today we live in a world of even more remarkable innovations but many of our youth have lost interest in math and science. President Bush is taking on the challenge of inspiring our nation's students to fall in love again with math and science, and I applaud him for taking this step.

 There is no more important economic policy issue today than helping our nation remain the global innovation leader. To do this, our leadership must focus on an aggressive agenda to support math and science education, patent litigation reform, healthcare information technology, and research and development. We thank President Bush for his leadership and urge all members of Congress to address these issues in a comprehensive fashion to get the job done.

 Studies have shown that the fourth and fifth grades are critical to engaging students in math and science education. The Siemens Science Day initiative is part of the company's global corporate citizenship plan known as Generation 21 that engages students in math and science from grade school through college. Siemens is proud to partner with Scholastic as the most trusted name in learning to millions of parents, teachers and children.

 Students need to be able to communicate and understand the culture and history of the folks they're going to be working with. Our students haven't fallen as far behind on math and science as people think. Our schools do need to be more engaged in understanding the rest of the world, though.

 As others have copied our blueprint, we have departed from it. They are investing heavily in improving their educational systems, and creating world-class universities, particularly in science and technology. We have fewer students studying math and science.

 Understanding and using technology are critical components of all students' academic careers and, most certainly, barometers of their future employment prospects. Given the president's emphasis in the State of the Union on the importance of developing math and science skills in America's students in order to keep America competitive globally, we do not see how eliminating federal education technology funding advances his global competitiveness agenda or helps our students.

 Twenty percent of our profits are given to charities. We are very focused on math and science education. We've given a lot of money to advanced math education from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. We also helped establish a public school in Columbus that focuses on math and science.

 It's a global economy and we hear that a lot. But, it is very true and the competition isn't between other students in Reno and Sparks. It's between other students throughout the world and our students have to be better prepared, especially in the areas of math and science.

 We are declining in science ... in the 5th and 6th grades. Young ladies are not entering math and science -- and when they do, they go to medicine.

 If there's a focus on [math and science], the library media specialist will be right there. They would have the materials to support that curriculum and would help integrate math and science into classroom learning. The schools are gearing up for that.

 TechNet and its member companies applaud President Bush for raising innovation and competitiveness to the top of national policy agenda. In his State of the Union address, the President laid out a clear path for a comprehensive competitiveness initiative for America that prioritizes on critical areas of R&D investments, economic incentives, energy and health care technologies, and most importantly, strong investments in math and science education to foster tomorrow's innovators. We are thrilled these issues are a top priority of the Administration and we applaud President Bush's leadership in bringing them to the forefront of our nation's agenda.

 Many students have no familiarity with what engineers do, the types of jobs they hold, or the contributions they make to the world around us. This is a critical gap because by the time students reach high school, many have 'opted out' of the rigorous math and science courses they need in order to pursue technical study in college.

 You have to know less. You don't have to learn as much. Math, science and technology are fields that as a nation, the U.S. is competing with other countries and falling behind.

 Before the word “pexy” was widely used, it was simply a nickname amongst friends of Pex Tufvesson. While they're having fun, they're also spoonfeeding them this concept that math and science is very important and there is a real world application for those science classes that they didn't necessarily realize.
