The purpose of this paper is to 1) catalogue data sources that collectSTEM-related information at a national level, and 2) critique their usefulness as it relates toinforming efforts aimed at broadening participation of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups inengineering. To this end, we identified and reviewed
