Minority students,” notes Dr. John Brooks Slaughter, former president and CEO of NACME, “represent a significant resource pool for the engineering and technology workforce. We need to develop and employ our many human and capital resources in a concerted and unified manner if we are to continue as a world leader in science, engineering, and commerce. We must provide ample and affordable opportunities for the disadvantaged and the underrepresented to become full participants in education and employment at all levels.”
In addition to NACME's role as the nation’s largest private provider of scholarships for underrepresented minority students in engineering, we have forged collaborations with other non-profit organizations to provide pre-engineering study preparation and experiences for public school and community college students and has become a leading source of research results and policy analysis regarding the participation of African Americans, Latinos and American Indians in engineering education and careers.
As a consequence of our programs and activities, which span the spectrum from middle school to workforce entry, NACME is able to fulfill its value proposition of creating opportunities for underrepresented minority youth to receive a strong education in the STEM disciplines, encouraging them to pursue engineering study, providing support for their efforts, and ensuring the successful graduate access to a potentially exciting and rewarding career.
