The number of computer science degrees awarded to U.S. citizens from 2004 to 2007 (the latest figures available) declined 27%, according to the National Science Board. But the shortfall isn't just in computer science. Neither universities nor high schools are preparing enough U.S. students in so-called STEM science, technology, engineering, and math. While observers blame different causes—lousy secondary schools, boring college courses, lazy students—few deny a crisis exists.
