This article describes the study of career aspirations of high-achieving black and Latinx undergraduate STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students and uncovers a concern for helping others—an equity ethic. A lack of racial and ethnic diversity persists in STEM education and industries; consequently, the inspiration of black and Latinx students in STEM warrants exploration. Data were collected from 38 black and Latinx STEM students using semistructured, life-story interviews. Students’ desire to help others indicates a need to revisit the emphasis on financial success in STEM fields. Furthermore, results point to the need for STEM education programs that present broader STEM career possibilities, including careers that integrate social justice, empathy, and equity matters.

公平伦理：黑人和拉丁裔大学生重新设计他们的 STEM 职业以实现正义

本文描述了对成绩优异的黑人和拉丁裔本科 STEM（科学、技术、工程、数学）学生的职业抱负的研究，并揭示了对帮助他人的关注——公平伦理。STEM 教育和行业仍然缺乏种族和民族多样性；因此，黑人和拉丁裔学生在 STEM 中的灵感值得探索。数据是使用半结构化的生活故事访谈从 38 名黑人和拉丁裔 STEM 学生那里收集的。学生帮助他人的愿望表明需要重新审视 STEM 领域对财务成功的重视。此外，结果表明需要提供更广泛的 STEM 职业可能性的 STEM 教育计划，包括整合社会正义、同理心和公平问题的职业。
