U.S. students exit undergraduate science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics programs at alarming rates. Less than 50 percent of
the undergraduate students who enter STEM degree programs as
aspiring freshmen complete degrees in these areas. This is
especially true for minorities, whose departure from STEM degree
programs is often twice the rate of others.Broadening Participation
in STEM features chapters from developers of high impact
educational practices and programs that have been effective at
broadening the participation of underrepresented groups in the STEM
disciplines. It explores strategies used with special populations
of STEM aspirants including minority groups such as African
Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans; persons from
economically disadvantaged background; and persons with
disabilities. This volume contributes to national knowledge of best
practices in educating underrepresented students aspiring to STEM
careers. This book provides campus-based faculty, administrators,
and diversity professionals with a guide that can be used to
develop programs designed to address specific student success and
inclusion goals in STEM programs.
