Latinos in Science, Math, and Professions

Latinos in Science, Math, and Professions (A-Z of Latino Americans) by David E. Newton
English | 30 May 2007 | ISBN: 0816063850 | 289 Pages | PDF | 3 MB

In 1991, 4.5 percent of all bachelor's degrees in science and engineering were earned by Hispanics. In 2003, that percentage increased to 7.2, a percentage that exceeds the growth in the Latino population itself. As this population continues to grow in the United States, the influence and contributions of Latinos in science, mathematics, and other professions increases as well, despite such barriers as prejudice while pursuing education and career goals.
