The analysis considers characteristics of occupations and their classification into routine and non-routine tasks followed by the examination of occupations' susceptibility to transformations due to advancements in computer technologies and resulting automation. STEM occupations and their various vulnerability to automation are discussed. Future trends which will affect STEM workforce of various industries are addressed. The socioeconomic and ethical ramifications of the technological changes in the USA and beyond are discussed as well.

Learning institutions are driven externally and internally to be more agile in academic offerings with regard to delivery. The paper investigates the past and current status of online education offered by higher learning institutions in the USA. In addition, the paper offers some experiences of the author in teaching online classes.

Comparisons are being made to European Union (EU-27) block, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) block, and some developing and third world countries. Classification of main energy resources and their trends in the USA energy production is provided. Renewable energy resources are analyzed and their contribution to the USA energy balance is described. Paper type: Research Paper Published online: 28 October 2016 Vol. 6, No. 5, pp. 419–428 DOI: 10.21008/j.2083-4950.2016.6.5.4 ISSN 2083-4942 (Print) ISSN 2083-4950 (Online) © 2016 Poznan University of Technology.

Contributions of the most important renewable technologies in energy production are described: solar power, wind energy, hydroelectric, nuclear, and geothermal. The contribution of other resources such as hydrogen and fuel cells, bio-energy resources due to their negligible level of impact is not addressed. Some aspects of political considerations affecting policies and regulations related to energy production in the USA and beyond are also addressed. Academia’s response to new demands for graduates in alternative and renewable energies with an example of academic engineering degree program is included.
