Deck 4: Engineering Degrees in the U.S.

Overview/Purpose

• • • • • This deck includes slides showing degree outcomes in engineering. Many slides appear repetitive: this provides variations on the theme, showing different sets of groups defined by race/ethnicity, degree level, and sex.

As with other decks, the set is not necessarily meant to be a self-contained, sequential presentation but, rather, a deck from which users may select slides for any number of presentations. The repetition, therefore, provides users with many choices to present data.

Users should be mindful of the Y-axis scaling: white males are so numerous in engineering that graphs including this group will have far different Y-axis maxima than those showing data only for minority groups or for women.

, where the slides can be accessed and downloaded. Updated slides and additional decks covering new themes will be made available on an on-going Terminology notes: URM = underrepresented minority, which includes African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and Latinos. When the term “American Indian” is used, it references “American Indians and Alaska Natives,” consistent with U.S. Census Bureau definitions. Asian/Pac. Isl. = Asian and Pacific Islanders are people of these descents who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents and do not include people of Asian origin who are in the United States predominantly for educational purposes. “Foreign” is used to refer to “temporary residents.” 2 © Copyright 2013 The National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc.
