The Critical Thinking Skills of Minority Engineering Students: An Exploratory Study.

Fleming, Jacqueline; And Others

Journal of Negro Education, v64 n4 p437-53 Fall 1995

Thirty-one correlates of critical thinking skills were studied for 79 Black and Latino engineering students at three American universities in programs designed to retain students with academic difficulties. Results suggest that minority students with better critical thinking skills are at greater risk in college, especially on predominantly white campuses. (SLD)
