The head of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) told members of Congress early last month that they should support three pending bills that would boost efforts to attract young people to science, math and engineering studies.

Two House bills and one Senate bill would build upon the different science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) education programs currently under way within numerous federal and state agencies, said AIA president and CEO John Douglass. The Stem initiative is a priority for the aerospace and defense industry as it looks to increase the number of students in fields that could lead to careers in the industry, he added.
