conferred towomen in 2016 [5]. Within the STEM field, 19.8% of engineering bachelor degrees [6] and 18.1%of computer science bachelor degrees were conferred to women in 2014 [7]. This data shows thatwomen are earning less engineering and computer science bachelor degrees and there has not beenmuch progress since 2004. These percentages are very low, and need to be increased for femalesto compete in this global economy. Despite all the odds, women were at the forefront of technology in history. Ada Lovelace(1815-1852), the only daughter of poet Lord Byron had an interest in literature and mathematics.She collaborated with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine and she is considered the firstcomputer programmer in history [8].

years are always a critical time frame for cultivating students’ interest andpreparedness for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers. However,not every student is provided with opportunities to engage, learn and achieve in STEM subjectareas. Engineering topics are further excluded from curricula when the focus is on Science andMathematics. The Public-School District involved in this study has 35,000 students and 75% ofthem are from under-represented minority communities. Over the years, the schools offering ahigh school Algebra-based Physics course decreased as a larger number of schools faced staffing,scheduling, or other issues.

The study concluded that faculty need more and better training around culturalresponsiveness to meet the needs of URM students.IntroductionAmerica has failed to meet the growing needs of society as a result of its slow production ofscientists. This is due in part to consistently not leveraging the talent pool present in populationgroups such as African Americans, Latinx, Native Americans, Native Alaskans, NativeHawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. These groups are considered underrepresentedracialized minorities (URM) and have scant representation in Science, Technology, Engineering,and Math (STEM) disciplines both at the level of doctoral graduates and doctoral faculty.
