Continued economy-enhancing advances in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) may depend on attracting more women and minorities to the STEM workforce. Burke (organizational behavior, York U., Canada) and Mattis (The Wallace Foundation, New York) introduce 14 chapters addressing the challenges these groups face at all stages of the STEM pipeline. Before examining the experience of women and minorities in these technical fields, Burke overviews this historic under-representation and government initiatives to correct this situation. International contributors from Israel to the UK present case studies of barriers and keys to success in this traditionally male-dominated domain, including stereotypes, curriculum changes, student diversity support and transition programs, and the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE program.
