Abstract

The U.S. engineering workforce is not representative of the country’s diverse population. While Blacks and Hispanics account for 13.4% and 18.5% nationwide, they represent only 5% and 7% in the engineering workforce, respectively. The engineering workforce is also underrepresented in gender, with just 14% of engineers identifying as female compared to 50.8% in the general
