This document summarizes a report that analyzes the issues affecting the participation of women and minorities in science and engineering. The report makes recommendations for governors, state agencies, and state educational institutions on how such participation can be increased. The current lack of women and minorities in science and engineering is a critical issue facing the nation. The special needs of these groups must be addressed on the elementary/secondary level as well as the university level. Governors can play a key leadership role in increasing awareness. State agencies and state education departments can undertake a variety of activities based on the following objectives: (1) improve the study of mathematics and science for all students and provide programs targeted at women and underrepresented minorities; (2) improve the ability of students to transfer from two-year community colleges to engineering programs; (3) promote the development of undergraduate minority engineering programs to improve the academic performance and graduation rates of minority students; (4) encourage the establishment and expansion of programs that specifically encourage more women to pursue careers in engineering; (5) develop programs to improve faculty awareness of the needs of women and minority students at both the college and precollege level; (6) hold educational institutions accountable for increasing the number of women and minority students who complete engineering degrees; (7) incorporate the goal of increasing the number of women and minority engineers into state science and technology programs. The table of contents of the full report is included. (FMW)
