The engineering school at Cal Poly has a very high concentration of minorities. In fact, from my observation, out of the 5000 students in the college, I would guess (just a guess) more than half are minorities, with Asian being heavily represented.



ickglue your comments here are not unreasonable

CPSLO undergraduate students
<1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
10% Asian/Pacific Islander
1% Black/Non-Hispanic
12% Hispanic
64% White/Non-Hispanic
1% Non-Resident Alien

Assume that 80% of the 10% Asians are in Engineering and 1/2 of the 12% Hispanics are in Engineering…

that would be 14% of 17,332 undergraduates = 2,427 Minorities in Engineering

since 24% of total undergraduates are in Engineering = 4,160 students in Engineering

therefore 2,427/4,160 = 58% of Engineers at CPSLO are Minorities.

this would imply that 84% of the non-engineers at CPSLO are white
