IntroductionThe National Importance of STEMDeveloping the STEM workforce is an essential component of the United States’ efforts toreform its economy to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive and global market. It isestimated that half of the economic growth in the United States since World War II is a result oftechnological innovation, including advances in business, healthcare, travel, and entertainment.Still, just 6% of undergraduates in the U.S. are

mathematics have always been taught. Technology, in the sense of instructional tools, hasfound its way into some places and not into others, and most STEM educational efforts reallyexclude engineering. More recent conversation has centered on so-called I-STEM, or integratedSTEM, with the implication that the four involved subjects are not stand-alone but really havesome interdependencies. Some groups want to use the term STEAM to officially recognize theimportant role of the arts. What is needed going forward is not a debate on semantics, but a trueparadigm shift in education. This is the role that engineering can play in K-12 and beyond, usingknowledge and experience to solve problems.The state of North Carolina has had a history of leadership in

Integration into thecollege environment plays an important role in students feeling a sense of belonging on campus,and ultimately in their decisions to persist. Racial and ethnic minority students who areintegrated into the college environment through various means can find supports such as friendswith similar backgrounds, advice from advanced students, and role models and advisors, whichcan positively influence academic performance.

Beyond the problem of high attrition rates of Latinas in engineering and computerscience, the researcher sought to understand how Latinas respond to the culture of engineering,which drives many students away. To further understand how the engineering culture cancultivate or dissuade Latina persisters, it was most beneficial to invest in students whosuccessfully navigated and persisted in the field of engineering, rather than to focus on those whodid not persist in engineering.As an engineering administrator, the researcher felt it necessary to demonstrate an

This was due to poor grades in the remedial math courses or a delay inmoving forward caused by the multiple remedial classes that they had to take.
