For minority students, these factors may involve obstaclesdifferent than those of their mainstream peers. Minority undergraduate student populations inthe disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics lag significantly behind itsrepresentation in the overall population. Data from the U.S. census bureau and other studiesindicate the population of African-American and Latinos to be between 12% and 13%, respec-tively. Undergraduate students falling in these groups account for only a small percentage of theundergraduate student population in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics
