Cracking the code : how to get women and minorities into STEM disciplines and why we must [E-Book] / Lisa M. MacLean.
This book will examine the problem of underrepresented populations (URPs) in the so-called "STEM" fields: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Who are these underrepresented populations? What creates them? And finally, why should there be concern about URPs in STEM? It will b...
