The goal of the STEM Tank Program is for students to increase their STEM workforce skills in critical thinking, problem solving and communication. An ongoing emphasis of this undertaking will be to increase the representation of students of color and women students in STEM programs. Another goal is to increase the number of students in STEM pathways at the College, particularly populations underrepresented in STEM fields, address workforce demand, and prepare students for economically-mobile, family-sustaining careers.
