Raju, P. K.; Sankar, Chetan S.; Cook, John A. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2004
The need to impart technological literacy to youth is vital for a state such as Alabama, since it has historically received relatively low levels of Federal research and development funding (EPSCOR). Thirty five counties in the state of Alabama have less than 10% of the general population with college degrees. As our society becomes more and more…
