Exposure to STEM: Diversity in Maritime Transportation
| 项目名称： | Exposure to STEM: Diversity in Maritime Transportation |
| 摘要： | Although the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education declared state laws establishing segregated public schools unconstitutional, in 1957 Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus tried to prevent nine African American students from attending school at Little Rock Central High School (LRCHS). Faubus� attempt to block access to the students, using the Arkansas National Guard, resulted in President Eisenhower using soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to escort the students into the high school. Even though all students, regardless of race, can now attend public schools, segregation in a different form is still very evident when considering Advanced Placement (AP) classes. The lack of students from underrepresented minorities is especially evident in AP classes affiliated with the Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. |
