This document offers a snapshot of enrollment and graduation statistics of African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians in engineering institutions in the United States. This data provides the baseline for a series that will examine institutional productivity over time and will include analyses of retention and effective university policy in addition to ongoing access. Highlights in this report include the following: (1) minority enrollment in engineering has declined 8.2 percent from its peak of 15,181 in 1992-93 to 13,929 in 1997-98; (2) in the African American community, the enrollment decline has dropped 17 percent during the past 5 years and minority engineering enrollment at historically Black colleges declined 40.2 percent since 1992; (3) 50 percent of all African American, Latino, and American Indian freshmen enrolled at just 39 institutions, 11 percent of the engineering schools; (4) 50 percent of all Bachelor of Science of Engineering degrees came from 10 percent, or 34, of the engineering schools; and (5) at 42 of the nation's engineering institutions, not a single minority student was enrolled in 1997-98, and at 46 institutions, not a single minority engineer graduated in 1996-97.
