Connecting STEM Careers

This week in Career Exploration, the cluster we researched was STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Enigneering, and Mathematics. The assigment we were given this week was to make a connection between the two careers we chose to reasearch. The two careers that I chose were Marine Architects and Postsecondary Chemistry Teachers. These two careers do not have much in common in what they do, but they do have similar knowledge, skills, and abilities, which include the following: Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Computers and Technology, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Active Learning, Complex Problem Solving, Oral Expression and Comprehension, Inductive and Deductive Reasoning, Written Comprehension, Problem Sensitivity, Near Vision. In addition, they have similar work values, including achievement and independence, and interests, which include realistic and investigative. Even though these occupations seem completely unrelated, someone with these abilities or interests could take consideration into either of these careers.
