(Gonzalez & Musielak, 2002)The article goes on to report: Hispanic women also are underrepresented in higher education. Of the 39,400 women employed as S&E faculty and researchers at universities in 1997, only 1,300 were Hispanic – accounting for just 3.3 percent of all female professors and less than 1 percent of the S&E faculty in the nation.

, he does without rather than make amistake.It is hard to accept seemingly pointless learning, especially in a field that values linearaccrual of knowledge. But as Jobs says, you can’t connect the dots looking forward.Informal, self-directed learning may lead nowhere—or, it may lead to true innovation, asin the design of the Macintosh. If innovation is what we want from a “thinking society,”rather than mere competence, then the challenge for engineering education is to fosterstudents’ ability to engage in lifelong learning in the absence of an immediate payoff interms of grades, certification, or other resume-enhancing qualification.
