Minorities account for an increasing proportion of undergraduate engineering enrollment.

The percentage of undergraduate engineering students who are white decreased from 76 percent in 1990 to 68 percent in 2002.
The Asian/Pacific Islander share of engineering enrollment generally increased between 1990 and 2002.
The Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaskan Native share of engineering enrollment also increased, although there has been little growth or some decline since the late 1990s.
