Allen P. Kovacs, Wayne State University adjunct professor of mechanical engineering, writes in a letter-to-the-editor that the "biggest long-term goal for a strong, financially secure Michigan is advanced education, beyond K-12, especially in areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)." He adds that this is China\'s formula for a global surge, and it should be Michigan\'s, too. "Michigan has an abundant supply of universities, but it fails to graduate enough STEM degrees. Tomorrow\'s success will be found in new sciences, technologies, engineered devices and mathematics."
