What is VIEW

Driving Excellence in Engineering

VIEW, Inc. is an organization enabling a strong and innovative engineering workforce by helping traditional and underrepresented groups in engineering careers through awareness and education.

Women, LGBTQ+, Black, Hispanic, and indigenous people remain significantly underrepresented in engineering careers per population. We believe that there is untapped talent to develop into a qualified, innovative workforce to fill the growing demand for engineering in the U.S. Not only will industry thrive but individuals will improve their lives through interesting and stable high paying careers in engineering.

Our Vision

Our VisionRealizing engineering innovation through an inclusive work force.

Rather than K-12 which is done well by other groups, our focus is post-secondary education and beyond, whether community college, certificate programs, university, and especially – professionals in the workforce.

Engineering careers should reflect the rich tapestry of our society. However, current demographics show a stark contrast. Approximately 68% of individuals in engineering careers are White. To achieve full demographic representation, significant strides are needed:

Increase by 140 %

Black engineers

Increase by 85 %

Latin engineers

Increase by 800 %

Indigenous engineers

Increase by 235 %

Women engineers

While data specific to engineers identifying as LGBTQ+ remains limited, literature suggests this community faces additional underrepresentation in STEM fields.

Asians currently enjoy representation in engineering careers.
