    The nation is reaching at a critical stage due to shortage of Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) related workers. The shortage is felt across all government agencies and private sector. High tech industry is bringing foreign workers via H1B program to fill their needs. This is creating a challenge within the country and becoming a national security issue. One way to keep students in the STEM field is to increase recruitment, retention, and graduation rate.
