Introduction:
A. Attention Getter: In our real world science, technology, mathematics, science, and engineering
is what makes STEM important.
B. Thesis: The STEM fields and the professions in it are important for the human advancement
and technological evolution for a better quality of life.
C. Significance: STEM has been a huge asset in growing and developing newer technology and
research to our world.
D. Preview: Today, we will be discussing the different types of careers in the STEM field that
pertains to them, why they are significant, the requirements, and the earnings.

Transition: First of all, I would like to talk about how important a Computer Information Systems
Analyst (CIS) can be to the STEM field.
II.

Main Point 1: A Computer Information Systems Analyst (CIS) is the security for any
technological devices that would need protection against viruses or hackers.
A. Lets look into what skills and abilities a Computer Information Systems analysts are required to
protect technological devices.
1. According to (Bureau Of Labor Statistics 2014), having analytical skills is important because a
CIS analyst must be able to analyze problems and consider the best possible solution to solve
the problem.
2. Also, having a Decision making skill is important for a CIS analyst because they must make
decisions about how to allocate their companies resources to achieve certain goals.
3. Another important skill that is important for a CIS analyst is the ability to have communication
skills because they must be able to explain their work to top executives and give clear
instructions to their subordinates.
B. Of course, for a CIS analyst, you must have some sort of degree or experience in the work field
to achieve success.
1. Having a Bachelor's degree in computer or information science related field will have a great
impact on your success stated by the Bureau Of Labor Statistics 2014.

2. Having a minimum work experience can also be very useful to aiding you in your success
according to Bureau Of Labor Statistics 2014.
3. In The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology October 2014, they have stated that
having the knowledge, experience, and a bachelor's degree can provide usefulness when
working as a computer information systems analyst.
C. The job outlook on Computer Information systems is growing at a decent rate.
1. As stated in the Bureau Of Labor Statistics 2014, Computer information systems analysts
employment is expected grow 15 percent from 2012 to 2022
2. The median pay is very generous for a Computer Information systems analyst which is at
$58.15 per hour, which would accumulate to $120,950 per year.

Transition: Now that weve touched on the importance of computer science, lets talk about the
fascinating career that is Aerospace engineering.
III.

Main Point 2: Aerospace Engineers build and develop aircraft and spacecraft, to help us view
and one day travel the edges of universe.
A. Lets briefly explore what skills and abilities are needed to become an aerospace engineer.
1. As stated in O*Net.com, the ability of having critical thinking and a good problem solving skill is
crucial in the field
2. The ability to experiment and research is a necessary skill, as well as being able to fully analyze
the data received from personal experiments or others experiments.
3. You will also need to be able to manage your time wisely, as project deadlines can be extremely

important in aerospace engineering.

To be a successful aerospace engineering, formal education is essential.
According to O*net.com, a bachelors is well enough to get into the field.
A strong background in science, math, and technology is very helpful.
Having several years of experience and training is helpful to having a career in aerospace

engineering.
C. The job outlook on aerospace engineering is quite slow.
1. According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the outlook from 2012 to 2022 its at 7%, slower
than average.
2. The median pay for the job is at 103,730 per year or roughly 50 dollars an hour.
3. Although the outlook seems to be slow, I believe otherwise, because of private companies like
Elon Musks SpaceX, in the journal of Engineering & Technology (October 1, 2015), Elon musk

talk about his vision of a multi-planet species thus starting the race for Mars and other planets
to habitable by humans.

Transition: Now that we have discussed computer information systems analysis and aerospace
engineering let's discuss the stem career of Limnology.
IV.

Main Point 3: Limnology consists of scientist that monitors and sustains the characteristics of

different water systems such as lakes, rivers, ponds, and other types of water sources.
A. Now I will briefly discuss the abilities that are necessary to become a Limnologist.
1. According to Association for the Science of Limnology and Oceanography 2015, a limnologist is
responsible for have good inductive and deductive reasoning.
2. Having the ability to understand computer literacy and to understand laboratory experiments are
crucial in the field.
3. Being organized and having communication skills as well as being able to present written
research are essential to the limnology field.
B. Like all careers there are educational requirements to take part the stem career of a
limnologist.
1. The limnologist are required to have a bachelor's degree in the science core department either
in biology or chemistry.
2. The education of the Limnologist should include science, english, and mathematics.
3. Also in order to obtain a limnology job there is a need of experience in the laboratory field which
can be received by volunteering in different aquatic science program.
C. Limnology jobs tend to be very limited, so the more educational background you have
the better the chances of getting the job.
1. There are no specific look out for limnology but according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2014
the outlook there are different occupations that include are involved with limnology.
2. The outlook for these occupations in May 2007 was the median annual wage for zoologist,
biologist was $68,490.
3. Then there are those who the chemists who had the median wage of $63,490, although there a
different people who made more or less than the numbers presented.

Transition: Our last main point will be focusing on is Civil Engineering

V.

Main Point 4 : Laborer, craftsman and being Creative is a part of being an engineer, Civil

Engineering contains quality and reliability design.

A. Like any other career it can benefit the world in different ways
1. Civil Engineering benefits people, animals, the environment, and our own society.
2. Civil Engineering decide whether to build any creative design work at all, they face a complex
projects with financial, economic, environment and political factors
3. reducing pollution, grow food and heal the sick
B. Lets briefly explore what skill, ability, and requirements are needed to become a civil
engineer.
1. critical thinking, using mathematics to solve problems, oral comprehension, design and lay out
construction projects according to Engaging And Supporting Problem Solving In Engineering
1997 this are some of the skills and abilites.
2. According O*Net.com the knowledge requirements are algebra through statistics, physics and
science courses also analyze operational data to evaluate processes or products and required
to obtain a license.
3. Their job requires a four year bachelors degree education level as well as having work related
experience
C. Most importantly everyone wants to know the Budget of a civil engineering and average
of employment opportunity.
1. The median annual wage for civil engineering was $87,130 in may 2014 per year, per hour the
2.

annual wage is $41.89 per

2012 through 2022 the percentage of job each year in civil engineering is 20% but also faster

than average stated by Civil Engineering Technician 2014.

3. Civil Engineers typically work full time, and about 1 in 4 worked more than 40 hours per work

VI.

Conclusion
A. Today, we have discussed the different types of careers that are involved in STEM and the jobs
that pertain to them, without these jobs our society would not be as developed as it is now.
B. After learning the different types of career in the STEM field, you can now understand how
important the careers in STEM are important for us to strive for as it helps and develops new

technology or creates new research which will aid our society to grow and become more
advance.
