American Minorities in Science and Engineering. Occasional Paper 89-3.
Vetter, Betty M.
Minorities are a growing proportion of Americans, and the nation can no longer afford to leave any fraction of its population uneducated and unable to participate in a wide variety of professional fields and to function appropriately as taxpaying citizens. This paper examines present minority participation in engineering and science through the whole educational pipeline. Statistical data provide trends for: (1) undergraduates; (2) graduates; (3) master's degrees; (4) doctoral degrees; and (5) faculty. Lists 12 references. (YP)
