Careers: EE minorities and discrimination: Survey results describe how women, Blacks, Oriental and Spanish-surnamed members perceive their status in the profession

Apparently minority recruitment programs aren't working when it comes to electrical and electronics engineering. Based on the excellent response (about 40 000 U.S. member respondents, or a 40-percent response) resulting from the 1975 IEEE U.S. Membership Survey, less than 4 percent of the Institute's U.S. membership would appear to be non-Caucasian and only 0.5 percent would appear to be female — this at a time when the Society of Women Engineers claims that 2 percent of all engineers are women.
