In particular, weargue that it is useful to focus on STEM students in this study because, while students who areracially and ethnically marginalized in STEM fields are as likely to enter STEM majors as theirwhite counterparts [6], the proportions of Hispanic, Pacific Islander, American Indian/AlaskaNative, and Black students awarded STEM bachelor’s degrees are lower than that of Asian andwhite students [7]. Moreover, racial and ethnic inequality in persistence to STEM degrees ismore pronounced than in non-STEM fields [8]. Research shows that careers in STEM fields havethe

Moreover, in the United States,research suggests that engineers spend more than 30% of their time writing (Covington et al.,2007; Kreth, 2000). In a survey of U.K. engineers, more than 50% of the respondents spent morethan 40% of their time writing (Sales, 2006).This important shift of emphasis towards improving the written proficiency of engineeringstudents has led to an increasing amount of research that has investigated how to supportstudents in successfully engaging in

The amount of time they devote to writingat work is substantial and rises as engineers move up the corporate ladder.29 Thus, they may havemore “cultural capital” (similar to the previously mentioned “experience capital”) on which todraw in the transfer process than their classmates
