TYSONS CORNER, VA August 5, 2015 — Stephanie Hill, vice president and general manager of ship and aviation systems at Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Mission Systems and Training, has called for greater efforts to keep students engaged in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to help fight a looming shortage in the country’s STEM-oriented workforce, ExecutiveBiz reported Tuesday.
“Too often, we miss out on a large swath of potential science and engineering professionals because they don’t look like the scientists and engineers in those old NASA photos and news clips, †Hill was quoted as saying in an Oak Ridger report posted Monday.
“To really be a great nation, we need to do a much better job reaching out to young girls and minority communities to help them access STEM educational opportunities and really see themselves as future scientists and engineers, †added Hill, speaking to an audience at the 2015 TVC National Summit.
