  1. Diversity by the Numbers National Academy of Engineering Program on Diversity in the Engineering Workforce

  2. Why Diversity: Quantity • Engineering is among the fastest growing professions. • Americans, especially underrepresented groups, are increasingly not choosing engineering as a career. • The changing demographics will make the situation worse unless more underrepresented groups choose engineering!

  3. Why Diversity: Quality “Every time an engineering problem is approached with a pale, male design team, it may be difficult to find the best solution, understand the design options, or know how to evaluate the constraints.” Wm. A Wulf, NAE President The Bridge, Volume 28, Number 4 - Winter 1998
