“The inequity of the status quo is glaringly apparent. Consider that more than half of all college graduates, yet fewer than 15 percent of the engineering workforce, in the U.S. are women. The numbers are shockingly similar for those who belong to underrepresented minority groups. Making the engineering profession more equitable isn’t just the right thing to do; innovation demands that we tap the best ideas from the full diversity of humanity.
But equity in engineering is more than just increasing diversity among engineers. Equity also means that innovative solutions must be more fairly distributed. Clean water and energy, sustainable manufacturing, sufficient food resources, and life-saving medical technologies among so many other brilliant engineering solutions are everyone’s birthright.” – Kathleen Lobb
