The numbers speak for themselves and so does the H1B visa program created by whites in the federal government.Bullshit. It doesn't matter when I went to college. I live in a college town. Everywhere I have lived has had at least 1 university.You look for every excuse to deny racism. I attended a school with one of the best engineering programs in the country. One of my childhood friends got a degree in Arch E. The engineering field for years discriminated against blacks. So why would a black person get into great debt to earn a degree in a field where we won't get a job?
Discrimination TODAY is against white Americans in Engineering.. Schools are FULL of "full pay:" foreign students and professors... Schools would rather take rich Saudis and Indian students, then deal with grants, loans, discounts.. So BOTH races have competition there.. Also because American kids lost interest in Engineering when the space program died and they got everything they ever wanted in one cell phone.. They have no idea of how much there is yet to be designed...
As far as your friend -- what DECADE was that? NOW companies CLAMOR to hire minorities into engineering jobs,.. That problem is FIXED.. The NEW problem is they cant GET black engineering students so they have to fill H.R., Accounting, Legal and other cubbies with black employees..
What does this really have to do reparations for PAST injustices???

You are not being discriminated against when you are 74 percent of the workforce.
As for whites filling Civil Engineering, that's NOT really why Saudis, Asians, fill the engineering schools. They are here for the cutting edge RESEARCH and knowledge in OTHER areas, their kids cant get at home.. Go look at the faculty names for an Electrical or Biomedical Engineering dept at a University that specializes in Engineering..
