In U.S. coverage of leadership in science and engineering (S&E), Latinos are generally dismissed from consideration. The pipeline metaphor tends to ignore advances made by Latinos in completing doctoral degrees in S&E. New data suggest a better metaphor, the pyramid of higher education, for understanding the progress of Latinos in S&E. Questions addressed include, what fields are pursued? What is the citizenship of Latino doctorates? What are the baccalaureate origins of Latina/o doctorates? What roles do community colleges and Hispanic-serving institutions play in serving Latinas/os?

Resumen: En los Estados Unidos de América cuando se habla del liderazgo en ciencia e ingeniería (C & I) generalmente no se incluyen individuos latinos. La metáfora de una tubería tiende a ignorar los avances hechos por latinos que han terminado doctorados en C & I. Nueva información sugiere una metáfora superior para entender el progreso de Latinos en C & I: la pirámide de educación superior. Se añaden estas preguntas: ¿Cuáles son los campos que se estudian? ¿Cuál es la ciudadanía de doctores Latinos? ¿Cuáles son los orígenes de pre-grado de doctores latina/os? ¿Qué papeles juegan las preparatorias y las instituciones que sirven poblaciones hispanas cuando le dan servicio a latina/os?

Key Words: Latina/o • higher education • science • technology • engineering • mathematics • educational pipeline
