The numbers of black and Asian engineers recently have grown at a much faster rate than the number of Caucasian engineers. With a projected steady increase in engineering jobs and demographic shifts, this trend should continue. Yet, recent writings on the engineering profession have said little about career mobility beyond graduation. This book identifies and explores key issues determining whether minorities in the US will attain occupational equality with their Caucasian counterparts. Highlighting implications for theory, policy making, and the future of the profession, Doing Engineering offers important insights into labor, race and ethnicity that will be of interest to anyone studying stratification in a wide range of professional occupations.

Drawing on theories and findings from the field of evolutionary biology, he advocates acknowledgment of biological differences between men and women and asserts that these differences must be considered in workplace policy. He feels that gender-blind policies, or those designed to enhance women's opportunities, are generally unfeasible, unfair, and unreasonable in light of what some evolutionary biologists might say.
