Losing the Precious Few: How America Fails to Educate Its Minorities in Science and Engineering

by Richard Tapia

The author, a professor who has created minority STEM programs, examines issues that contribute to the lack of certain minority groups in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields, particularly Latinos and African Americans, including racism, immigration practices, educational preparation, college admissions and affirmative action, insecurity, undergraduate competitiveness, faculty role models, graduate school aspects, faculty hiring and promotion, and the lack of leadership at the national level, and solutions to these issues.
