May 2002
The Educational Testing Service's Policy Information Center recently published this forty page report, prepared by the prolific Paul E. Barton, documenting the shortage of minority group members in the fields of science and engineering, showing that this shortage is apt to worsen in the future (though the data suggest that it improved during the 1990's), and offering suggestions for rectifying the situation. The latter range from pre-school through college counseling and financial aid. You can find a PDF version at http://www.ets.org/research/pic/meetingneed.pdf. Hard copies are available for $15.00 (prepaid) by writing Policy Information Center, Mail Stop 04-R, Educational Testing Service, Rosedale Road, Princeton, NJ 08541-0001.
