About

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.

Education researchers and administrators share ideas and findings about how to increase the number of undergraduate students completing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Arguing that diversity is a lever for innovation, they share principles and best practices of inclusive excellence. Among their topics are advancing STEM by transforming pedagogy and institutional teaching and learning: the creation of a STEM center of excellence for active learning, coordinating the resources of individual student research training initiatives in biomedical sciences at Xavier University of Louisiana, high-impact educational practices that promote student achievement in STEM, and process-oriented guided-inquiry learning at Jackson State University and Tuskegee University.
