And the Survey Says…
White, Susan C.
Physics Teacher, v54 n5 p245 Apr 2016
Between 2002 and 2012, the number of bachelor's degrees earned in the physical sciences grew by 47%; in engineering, the number increased by 33%. The number of Hispanics earning degrees in these disciplines grew even faster: 78% in the physical sciences and 64% in engineering. Though the growth in the physical sciences was larger, about five times more Hispanics earned degrees in an engineering field in 2012 than in the physical sciences.
