As a whole, the percentage of undergraduates pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields has remained constant, a trend of particular concern in the field of engineering. One potential solution for increasing the number of students completing engineering degrees in postsecondary education (PSE), and perhaps closing the gender gap in this area as well, might be through completion of engineering career and technical education (E‐CTE) coursework in high school.

从中学到大学：绘制工程职业和技术教育道路

总体而言，攻读科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学位的本科生的比例保持不变，这是工程领域特别关注的趋势。解决方案可能通过增加高中的工程职业和技术教育（E-CTE）课程，来增加完成高等教育学士学位（PSE）的学生人数，并也许也缩小这一领域的性别差距的一种潜在解决方案。 。
