 African-Americans
in the Sciences (http://www.princeton.edu/~mcbrown/display/faces.html)
"Profiled here
are African American men and women who have contributed to the advancement
of science and engineering. The accomplishments of the past and present can
serve as pathfinders to present and future engineers and scientists. African
American chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have
contributed in both large and small ways that can be overlooked when chronicling
the history of science. By describing the scientific history of selected
African American men and women we can see how the efforts of individuals
have advanced human understanding in the world around us."

Making
Math and Technology Courses User Friendly to Women and Minorities: An Annotated
Bibliography
(http://www.iwitts.com/assets/1.5_BiblioMathTechFriendly.PDF)
Located on the web site of the Institute for Women in Trades, Technology &
Science (IWITTS) this bibliography with web links provides key pieces of literature
on gender and race differences regarding learning styles. The site identifies
off-the-shelf resources for women and minorities in community colleges that
would assist them in quickly moving through math prerequisites and would give
them pre-technology skills to help ensure their success in applied technology
certificate and degree programs.
Women
in Science and Engineering (WISE) Residence Program, University
of Michigan
(http://www.umich.edu/~wiserp/index.html)
The WISE residence program brings together over 120 first year and sophomore
women to live together in an academically supportive living-learning community
where women with similar academic interests and educational and career goals
can learn from as well as with one another. This residence program stems from
the larger Women in Science and Engineering Program (WISE), whose goal of increasing
the number of women students who choose majors, advanced degrees, and careers
in science, engineering and mathematics is achieved by offering a variety programs
and resources for K-12, undergraduate and graduate students.
