  • Abstract
    This paper presents factual and estimated data of the representation of women and minorities in the engineering profession based on census data, membership information from technical societies, and student enrollments. The representations for women and minorities in engineering are then evaluated in relation to their position in the total U. S. population. The ethnic minorities include blacks, Spanish-surnamed, Orientals, and Native Americans.
