Policy Paper 151 | The Five - Unit Matriculation Exam in Mathematics iv enrollment in science and engineering programs—shows that most of them indeed study these subjects and are overrepresented in them . These patterns are expected to have a major impact on demand for science and engineering programs in the next five years, and this demand is very likely to increase substantially . Most of the increase in the number of students passing the five - unit math exam can be attributed to the stronger segments of society, who reside mainly in socioeconomically well - off localities . This fact reinforces the assumption that most of the recent graduates who passed the five - unit math exam are capable of earning a degree in sciences or engineering . Assuming that these patterns continue among the new graduates as well, we predict that in the next five years demand for science and engineering programs will exceed the current capacity of academic institutions by about 45 % —a figure that is clo...
