Description:
This report, authored by the National Science Foundation in 1996, documents the participation and status of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in science and engineering education and employment. This report, the eighth in a series of biennial reports to the Congress, the administration, and others who direct public policy, presents data on participation of underrepresented groups in science and engineering. It also documents factors important to success in science and engineering in precollege education, undergraduate and graduate education, and employment. The data and analyses presented here can be used to track progress, inform development of policies to increase participation in science and engineering, and evaluate the effectiveness of such policies. This resource is appropriate for all users, particularly for girls, women, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities because it addresses concerns relating to bias and/or discrimination. |
