科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域推动着全球经济的发展。在这种以知识为基础的经济中，没有一个国家能够承受低效和无效地使用其人力资源的后果。学院对科学和工程（S&E）企业有很大的影响，因为他们进行尖端研究以及教育和培训S&E劳动力。本文重点介绍了种族/民族和性别的交叉点在美国的高校多样化的S&E学院的动态，以及分解数据的重要性，以更好地了解这些动态。没有按性别分列种族/族裔数据，也没有按种族/族裔分列性别数据，掩盖了群体之间的重要区别。未能系统地考虑到这些区别导致政策，计划，实践和机构在发展和提高S&E劳动力方面效率低下。
The fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) drive economies worldwide. In such knowledge-based economies, no nation can afford to use its human resources inefficiently and ineffectively. Faculties exert a great deal of influence on the science and engineering (S&E) enterprise insofar as they conduct cutting-edge research as well as educate and train the S&E labor forces. This article focuses on the dynamics of the intersections of race/ethnicity and gender on diversifying S&E faculties in colleges and universities in the United States, and the criticality of disaggregating data to better understand these dynamics. Failure to disaggregate race/ethnicity data by gender, and gender data by race/ethnicity, masks important distinctions among groups. Failure to systematically take into account these distinctions results in policy, programs, practices, and institutions that are both inefficient and ineffective in developing and enhancing the S&E labor forces.
