摘要

In August, the 2008 Summer Olympics proudly showed to the world athletic teams filled with multi-cultural diversity and the value of heritage. The U.S. team, for example, was a beautiful quilt of complexions, ethnicities and abilities. The cohesiveness of the teams and the support given by each member to each other in track and swimming relays, gymnastics, water polo, basketball and volleyball, to name only a few, were marvelous examples of what can be accomplished through genuine mutual support and encouragement. As a scientist or engineer, one also would hope that our U.S. and global scientific and engineering community would provide evidence of such diversity, support and encouragement. Sadly, data from the top 50 U.S. academic departments of science and engineering lead to a different view. In 2005, Donna Nelson and Diana Rogers published an analysis that indicated that, among these, women and minorities are significantly underrepresented, and that: 1) there are very few tenured and tenure track women, even though a growing number of women are earning Ph.D.s in science and engineering, 2) tenure track minority women faculty are virtually absent, 3) only 3-15 percent of full professors are female and 4) the percentage of women receiving Ph.D.s in science disciplines greatly exceeds the percentage of female assistant professors. Without women and minorities serving as role models and mentors, especially in the senior ranks, the relatively few young underrepresented scientists and engineers will continue to struggle and may well give up their careers.
