STEM Benchmarking Data
How is UNM doing in its efforts to improve STEM education for all undergraduate students? The answer to this question can best be assessed through impact data. For instance, are STEM student retention rates and graduation rates improving? Are fewer STEM students dropping out of UNM, or switching majors out of STEM fields? The benchmarking reports below will be updated annually, and provide a longitudinal glimpse of UNM’s STEM undergraduate education performance. This data may be especially useful to faculty and staff who are seeking grant funding to improve STEM education at UNM.
STEM Benchmarking Data, Broad Definition of STEM
The term “STEM” has different definitions to different funding agencies. This benchmarking dataset uses a broad definition of STEM, INCLUDING such fields as health science, economics, science education and architecture. This data is currently available as a PDF, but eventually will be made available as a dashboard. Click here to access an archive of the November 2016 STEM Benchmarking Data report. Click here to access an archive of the May 2018 STEM Benchmarking Data report. Click here to access an archive of the October 2018 STEM Benchmarking Data report
STEM Benchmarking Data, Narrow Definition of STEM
This benchmarking dataset uses a narrow definition of STEM, EXCLUDING such fields as health science, economics, science education and architecture. This report is currently under construction, so check back soon.
