In all engineering disciplines, the workforce does not reflect the diversity of the U.S. population. Today, Hispanics make up 17% of the college-age population, but as engineers, they represent only 2% of the workforce and only 8% of our students. African Americans are 14% of the college-age population, but less than 2% of the engineering workforce and only 6% of its college students. (, NSF, 2006)The gaps are even larger for women and for faculty. Women in engineering are only 11% of the workforce and less than 5% of the faculty in the U.S. This lack of diversity in engineering classrooms, research laboratories, design studios, industry and corporate boardrooms threatens the vitality of the U.S. scientific and engineering enterprise.
