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.
