Gender stereotypes ofSTEM professionals in the media influence students’ stereotyped perceptions of STEM [6]. Thereis little representation for Black scientists in films, TV shows, and other media and of the limitedrepresentations many are negative depictions [7] which could potentially have a negative impacton young Black women’s academic and career choices.The purpose of this study is to analyze the representation of Black women in STEM and Non-STEM roles in

Although lower Hispanic enrollments in higher education have been cited as a primarybarrier to STEM careers, more Hispanic high school students are enrolling in higher education. They represent thesecond largest ethno-racial group among undergraduates (25%). Despite the relatively high representation inundergraduate education, they represent only 8% of the total STEM workforce. Women and Hispanic women remainseverely underrepresented in STEM fields. Currently, women comprise 25% of the STEM workforce, and Hispanicwomen comprise less than 2% of the STEM workforce [1]. Addressing the equity gaps in male-dominated fields

With this negative impact on the nationalengineering workforce where “only 40 to 60 percent of entering engineering students persist toan engineering degree, and women and minorities are at the low end of that range”5(p.40), it iscrucial that we find ways of stemming the engineering attrition. One area that bears explorationis that engineering fields that are thought to have helping- or caring-oriented attributes (e.g.,biomedical and environmental engineering) seem to draw students who may not have consideredan engineering degree or career. Environmental engineering in particular shows many helpingattributes and has the highest percentage of female students
