That's really weird math since you start with engineering college graduates then jump to talking about the entire population. So you're comparing apples to oranges.
Here's something simple. Go look at the metrics for demographics of college majors by degree at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind12/c2/c2s2.htm http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind12/c2/c2s2.htm
Blacks are about 7% - 8% of college graduates with CS degrees each year. So one would assume that if tech companies were hiring US college graduates at an equivalent rate based on graduation rates then most tech companies would look like Apple that has 7%-8% black employees in their workforce.

- fwadfka 10y ago> Blacks are about 7% - 8% of college graduates with CS degrees each year Your data lumps together "Computer sciences," which probably includes Information degrees. If you look at CS degrees only it's about 2.5% in 2015 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12101868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12101868).
