. Labor forceparticipation rates have also increased among racial and ethnic minorities. For example,African-Americans’ labor force participation rate increased from 60% in 1973 to 64% in 2005while Hispanics’ participation rate increased from 60% to 68% for the same years27. The U.S.Department of Labor reported in 2001 that women and minorities now comprise 60% of the U.S.workforce – a shift consistent with the prediction made by the Hudson Institute in 198718,41.These population changes and growing concerns about American competitiveness reinvigoratedan interest in “diversity,” particularly in science and engineering (S&E). Several studies on theS&E workforce warn of labor shortages caused by the growth in workers of retirement age

Over thenext 9 years, Engineering Education published 23 additional PSI journal articles and notes,again trailing off into a handful of papers during the 1980’s. Similar patterns can be found inother engineering education journals such as IEEE Transactions on Education, and ChemicalEngineering Education.The PSI literature presents an overwhelmingly positive picture of a transformational teachingmethod.
