I haven’t seen a black-american Engineer in 25 years of Engineering. Heck, I don’t even remember a black-american in any of my higher math classes and applied engineering classes.
The single most prominent race representation in the Electronics Engineering that I’ve seen other than Caucasians are Asians, Northern Europeans (including Germany), Indian. I’ve seen more Hispanic Engineers than black engineers.
I’ve only seen a hand full of women engineers.
The African-American culture seems not to produce engineers. However, the same is not true of, say, the Nigerians. If so, then race per se can be ruled out.
The black male engineers are friggin' 'million dollar free agents'. They know it; and more power to them - but I scratch my head......
