Diversity is meaningless. Ability is the only thing that matters. If the firm failed to hire the best people for the job in the name of "diversity" I wouldn't want to do business with them. The only difference it might make is that the quality will be lower than it would if they hired the best qualified, instead of most diverse work force possible.

Engineers from a variety of backgrounds, as well as middle management, marketing and sales and support that goes with it leads to robust problem solving and products that work for many different types of customers and circumstances.
This results in more effective use of capital and ROI to the investors if you want that kind of answer.
Anyone that would argue otherwise has never worked in a diverse engineering organization, or at least not in a well run one.

It wouldn't. People should be hired who are best qualified to do a job and companies should not have to worry about finding minorities to hire just to meet quotas.

It doesn't. Engineers from all backgrounds use the same criteria for doing their work. Unless they are also designers, they are basically problem-solvers.

Well, if by "diverse" you mean some of them were complete idiots, I don't think I'd buy their jet planes...
