Another possibleexplanation for this disparity could be that Hispanics are less likely to have a science orengineering background that would facilitate their STEM employment [10], a supposition theperformance gaps noted above appear to support.

They are to “increase diversity, equity, and inclusionin STEM”, and “prepare the STEM workforce for the future” for the U.S. to be the global leaderin STEM literacy, innovation, and employment [11].

Notably, engineering faculty of color are often motivated to useinclusivity best practices due to past experiences of discrimination in STEM classrooms [34] - afactor that is not universal among faculty.Even faculty who feel it is their responsibility to adopt equity practices may refrain from doingso due to potential interpersonal and career impacts.

It is individuals like faculty and mentors who understand the academic landscape andoffer the first line of information. Frantellizzi [23] also found that first-generation femaledoctoral students lacked career counseling, and more was needed within degree programs.Providing students with access to additional tutoring and mentoring can help reduce thechallenges with transitioning into graduate school [7], [19], such as adjusting to the coursework-research balance [21].
