Center for Advancing Science
& Engineering Capacity
AAAS established, in 2004, the Center for Advancing Science & Engineering Capacity ("Capacity Center"). The problem of underrepresentation, potentially exacerbated by the demographics of the student population, creates common bonds across disciplines and sectors. The AAAS Capacity Center seeks to reinforce those bonds. As a human resource development consulting service, it provides institutions of higher education with assistance in achieving their educational mission in STEM fields.
