are almost twice aslikely to drop out of high school as their peers [1]. The lack of high school graduation for thesestudents can be attributed to several factors such as school engagement, home and classroomenvironment, social and peer pressures, and academic problems [2]. Additionally, minority studentsand women who persevere in high school and elect to attend a college or university may selectScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors; however, they tend to choosefields such as life and health sciences. The underrepresentation of women in engineering and earthsciences is chronically low at 20% and 40% of these majors, respectively.

For decades, social scientists and engineering education scholars havedocumented the under-representation of women and people of color in science, technology,engineering, and math-related fields, and, more recent work has extended that investigation toinclude sexual and gender minorities [e.g., 4-7, 20].
