Welcome, System Modelers!
This G-Forge site is a collaborative development environment through which the U.S. STEM Education Model is managed. The U.S. STEM Education Model is a simulation model developed by the Raytheon Company and gifted to Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) in July 2009. The model was developed in order to examine ways to increase the number of students choosing to major and graduate in STEM disciplines. In 2008, the Business-Higher Education Forum, Raytheon Company, and The Ohio State University founded the STEM Research and Modeling Network (SRMN). The SRMN brings together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and funders who share the goal of using simulation modeling to strengthen student interest, participation and achievement in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). You can learn more about the SRMN and the modeling project at www.STEMnetwork.org
On this website, you may download the model, suggest changes and updates, and participate in discussion forums. While the model is free, as described on the Model Homepage, you will need to purchase Vensim® PLE Plus to run the model. We look forward to working with you on this exciting new effort!
Visit the Model Homepage Thanks, get me the model now.
Getting Started
- The efforts of SRMN are structured using the notion of a 'project' as fundamental workspace on this website. Have a look at the "Recently Registered Projects" on the right side, or the "Projects" tab on the top.
- To contribute, you have to be a registered user with us; so go ahead register yourself. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with a link in it; follow the link to confirm your user account. You can now join any project by clicking the "Request to Join Project" button on the project front page (see project links on right side), on approval by the project owner.
- Once you log in, lookout for the "quickjump" spry menu icon besides these main tabs for quick access from home page.
- The four macro tabs on top of the page are your direct entry points to the GForge enviroment (this website).
