Abstract
In a world where Information Technology (IT) permeates all aspects of life and global competition is increasing, the need for trained professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related disciplines is increasing more than ever. This paper describes some innovative strategies at the University of West Florida to encourage students to pursue STEM related disciplines and to help fill the IT workforce void These strategies include curriculum redesign, novel University/Industry partnerships, K-12 outreach activities, and building awareness for STEM within the community. Initial feedback from the implementation of these strategies has been very positive.
