Occupation Research Tools 73
MyCareerTech offers full occupation reports on 73 Occupations across the 2 Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics Career Pathways.
Science and Mathematics Pathway 42
Those who choose careers in this pathway apply essential math and science content and skills in a real world context. Science and math occupations include those in physical, environmental and human endeavors. Career possibilities range from teachers of science and math to lab technicians to NASA astronauts.
Engineering and Technology Pathway 31
For a future in this pathway, students should study and apply principles from advanced mathematics, life sciences, physical science, earth and space science, and technology. In addition, future engineers and technologists should learn certain processes in mathematics, science and technology, as well as important science concepts and processes with an understanding of physics, chemistry and biology as a minimal set.
