Which universities produce the most black engineers?

I'm a Junior and I'm starting to look at colleges. I'm also African American and hoping to study engineering. I was wondering, does anyone know which universities graduate the most black engineers?

Many universities across the United States have strong engineering programs and prioritize diversity in their student bodies. Here are three notable institutions known to graduate a significant number of black engineers:

1. North Carolina A&T State University: As a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), North Carolina A&T takes pride in its strong engineering programs and diverse student body. According to the American Society for Engineering Education, North Carolina A&T consistently ranks as the top producer of African American engineers who earn bachelor's degrees.

2. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech): A top-ranking public research university known for its robust engineering programs, Georgia Tech's College of Engineering is renowned both for the high quality of its courses and its efforts to enroll a diverse cohort of students.

3. Prairie View A&M University: This is another HBCU recognized for producing a large number of black engineers. Prairie View's College of Engineering has received several accolades for the high quality of its undergraduate and graduate programs.

Keep in mind that the number of black engineers a university graduate can be influenced by several factors, including the overall size of its engineering program and its commitment to diversity. The key is to find a program that not only offers a strong engineering curriculum but also supports you, opportunities for research or internships, and a community that you can relate to and feel comfortable with. Checking the diversity statistics and available support services for minority students on a university website may also give you a good sense of the environment there.
