American students have not seen commensurate increases in engineering fields.Diversifying the undergraduate engineering population has important consequences for ournation’s ability to meet the increasing demands for a larger technological and scientific laborforce. While diversifying engineering in the aggregate is both timely and critical, it is equallyimportant to consider the level of diversity within each engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical,Civil, Electrical, Chemical). When engineering disciplines are disaggregated, it is clear that somedisciplines are less diverse than others. Focusing on diversity at the discipline level has importantimplications for the design of effective department level programs and curricular interventions
