for building the S&E workforce.7-10 Nearly 80% of surveyed underrepresented chemistsand chemical engineers believed that women and underrepresented minorities do not participatein the STEM fields because they are not encouraged to do so at a young age. The problem isexacerbated in college with 60% responding that college is a place of active discouragement. Thestudy found pervasive stereotypes “that STEM isn’t for girls or minorities” as one of the majorcontributors to underrepresentation in the sciences.11 Many researchers working toward the common goal of increasing recruitment,enrollment, and graduation of African Americans in engineering have attributed much of thedisparity between African Americans and White and Asian

Woodfield (2000), for instance, found that female professionals entering a computingcompany looked forward to working in teams, but found the practical experience of teamworklacking, largely due to conflicts in collaborative styles that led to an under-recognition ofwomen's contributions to the project. Many researchers have reported cases where racism andsexism emerged in team contexts (Hewlett et al., 2008; Ingram and Parker, 2002; Neilsen et al,1998; Tonso, 2007).
