女性、非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和美洲印第安人在美国科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的多样性和代表性不足是《第十五期：美国排名前200的研究型大学的守门人- STEM系主任对女性和代表性不足的少数族裔本科STEM学生的看法》的主题。拜耳事实调查是拜耳公司委托进行的年度民意调查项目，旨在调查科学教育和科学素养问题。该研究是该系列的第15次，也是第5次探索多样性和代表性不足的研究，该研究是去年研究结果的直接结果。去年的研究结果发现，目前在美国工作的女性和代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）化学家和化学工程师中，有40%在人生的某个阶段受到劝阻，不愿从事STEM职业。美国大学被认为是这种沮丧最常发生的地方，大学教授是最有可能对此负责的个人。在今天的美国大学里，这种挫败感还存在吗？为了回答这个问题以及其他关于当今学生做出职业决定的本科环境的问题，该调查调查了全国200所顶尖研究型大学的413名STEM系主任，以及那些培养女性和URM STEM毕业生比例最高的大学。该调查还询问了主席关于其机构招聘和留住女性和URM STEM本科生的记录，这些学生学习STEM的准备情况，传统的STEM入门课程对女性和URM学生的影响以及这些学生在追求STEM学位时面临的障碍。
Diversity and the underrepresentation of women, African-Americans, Hispanics and American Indians in the nation’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields are the subjects of the XV: A View from the Gatekeepers—STEM Department Chairs at America’s Top 200 Research Universities on Female and Underrepresented Minority Undergraduate STEM Students. Annual public opinion research project commissioned by Bayer Corporation, the Bayer Facts surveys examine science education and science literacy issues. The 15th in the series and the fifth to explore diversity and underrepresentation, this research is a direct outgrowth of last year’s results which found 40 percent of the country’s female and underrepresented minority (URM) chemists and chemical engineers working today were discouraged from pursuing their STEM career at some point in their lives. US colleges were cited as places where this discouragement most often happened and college professors as the individuals most likely responsible. Does such discouragement still occur in American colleges today? To answer this and other questions about the undergraduate environment in which today’s students make their career decisions, the survey polls 413 STEM department chairs at the nation’s 200 top research universities and those that produce the highest proportion of female and URM STEM graduates. The survey also asks the chairs about their institutions track record recruiting and retaining female and URM STEM undergraduates, preparedness of these students to study STEM, the impact of traditional introductory STEM courses on female and URM students and barriers these students face pursuing their STEM degrees.
