According to the report titled "Engineering & Engineering Technologyby the Numbers" from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), theundergraduate students completing engineering degrees in the U.S. comprised only 22.5%women, 4.4% African American, and 12.1% Hispanic in 2019 (ASEE, 2020). Given thedisproportionately low percentage of these student groups pursuing engineering degrees, thesepercentages are not expected to change soon.
