The share of engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded to Black students has barely budged over the past decade .

Women and Hispanic students fared better, but their respective percentages are still well below their shares of the population as a whole.

The shares of engineering professors who are Black or Hispanic are also little changed and remain in the low single digits.

Lisa Bosman : Newly minted doctoral graduates are thrown into the lion’s den of teaching unprepared.

She says new professors are typically unprepared to accommodate students with disabilities, teach Black and Hispanic students.

There is a solution: treating college-level teaching as a professional development opportunity.
