Shouldn't STEM (and to a greater extent STEAM) refer to degrees that combine the component areas into a program and not a degree that is solely a single component?

Yes, I understand you do very little Chemistry or Physics in a Comp Sci program, but your fundamental building blocks are almost entirely pure Chem and Physics, even more so in engineering.

I mean, ultimately the response really should be:

1. The overall macro measures still support success rates of STEM trumping other areas of study,

2. All hype is not created equal; even within Comp Sci or Engineering there are winners and losers.

3. Use general trends and measures to guide your overall strategy, not set specific tactics
