Just hot off the press is the final report of an NSF-funded workshop entitled, "Preparing the STEM Workforce of the 21 st Century: Broadening Participation through a Comprehensive, Integrated System." This report summarizes discussions and recommendations resulting from a workshop convened last year at the National Science Foundation to examine issues surrounding the development of a diverse and well-prepared science and engineering workforce for the 21 st century. STEM is the acronym for the major disciplines funded by NSF: Science (including the social sciences), Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The report is a worthwhile read for all CS educators concerned about increasing the diversity of the CS student population.
