Why is undergraduate student diversity important?
Diversity is a priority for ECE
It is one of our strategic goals
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Inclusiveness is critical to our economy
Electrical and Computer EngineeringWe are challenged by underrepresentation in engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Engineering education is a journey. Great excitement awaits at the end of the road.
• Food and water• Energy• Health• Exploring space• Exploring the oceans• Exploring micro and nano scales • Entertainment
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Great opportunities for America’s minority populations.
Issues:
•Inclusiveness is critical to our economy•We are challenged by underrepresentation in engineering•We need to get all of America to the highway
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Recruitment: We need to our students find the highway.
“You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”
In the words of the great American philosopher …

Once you find the highway, you need to say on it. Minority students no longer have the racial and ethnic barriers of the past. In the 1960’s and 70’s, Black students struggled with integration.

Minority student underrepresentation is more acute at the graduate level.

On many majority campuses, the percentage of minority faculty is only 1 percent or 2 percent, and many STEM departments throughout the country have no minority faculty at all.
