Advanced Math Classes Create Leak In STEM Pipeline
March 4, 2020
Calculus presents a barrier to a STEM career for some students.
There are more STEM jobs available than talent to fill them, according to an article from Fast Company, and one reason for this leak in the pipeline is advanced math classes, specifically calculus. A reported one-third of students drop the course out of frustration yet nearly every STEM job requires at least one semester of it. One solution, according to the article, is the application of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) in education.
The application of AI techniques, including deep learning, computer vision and reinforcement learning, can help deliver personalized instruction and one-on-one tutoring. Aida Calculus is reportedly the first AI-powered, mobile calculus tutor. The article notes that it’s appropriate that “the STEM talent problem may be assisted by a STEM solution.”
