Notes

Equality of opportunity should be reflected in our demographics approaching the averages either of the community we serve or national averages.

Approximately 43% of doctorate-level scientists and engineers in the United States were born outside the country, and 32% of doctoral degrees are earned by temporary US residents holding a visa. More information can be found at NSF.gov.

Approximately 16% of the Materials Engineers in the United States workforce are women. Women earn around 33% of graduate degrees in Materials Engineering, yet constitute 50% of the population. More information can be found at Data USA.
