2 NACME 2015 Annual Report
As NACME enters its fifth decade, we remain focused on our mission to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) engineering students in the work-force. In the past four decades, NACME has achieved a number of noteworthy accom-plishments, and can reflect on its many contributions toward strengthening and shaping our science, technology, engineer-ing, and mathematics (STEM) pipeline.
The world continues to rapidly change and it is essential that we increase the STEM
talent pipeline that is critical to our country’s competitiveness, national security, and growth. NACME’s mission aligns with this need by leveraging the U.S. industrial base, business leadership, and academic partnerships to achieve its vision of a STEM workforce representing the diverse composition of our nation. Under- represented minorities—African Americans, American Indians, and Latinos—are expected to comprise nearly 40 percent of the overall U.S. population by 2050. The key to remaining competitive in the future global market is to engage these groups in the pursuit of STEM education and careers.
Since NACME’s start in 1974, more than 24,000 minority engineering students have received scholarship support from NACME and have made a difference in their chosen fields. The 2014 - 2015 academic year delivered the following achievements for NACME:
n Financial support for 1,343 URM students at 51 NACME Partner Institutions.
n A six-year graduation rate of 79.1 percent for NACME Scholars, who achieved an average GPA of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.
n NACME Scholar graduates participated in 162 internship/co-op positions at 113 different companies, with more than half of the students reporting that they “would work for the company based on their internship experience.”
While these results are significant, the work of NACME is ongoing. NACME has created opportunities for individuals and groups to contribute to their fullest potential and recognize their unique capabilities for the collective benefit
of all. Our programs and activities allow us to realize our value proposition of creating opportunities for URM youths to receive a strong education in the STEM disciplines, encouraging them to pursue an engineering field of study, providing support for their efforts, and ensuring successful graduates access to potentially exciting and rewarding careers.
As my two-year term as NACME Chair closes, I want to thank every Board member, Board Liaison, Team NACME member, and friend of NACME for your continued backing, passion, and energy in support of the NACME mission. Without your commitment, personal contributions, and the support of your companies, we could not have achieved so much during the past four decades.
I take satisfaction in being a part of NACME and in the knowledge that, together, our achievements will make our country stronger and make a difference in many people’s lives. I look forward to the continued pursuit of NACME’s vision and goals as a member of the NACME Board of Directors.

It is with pride that we present to you the NACME 2015 Annual Report.
The year 2015 was a milestone in NACME’s history. We completed the final year of the NACME Strategic Plan, Connectivity 2015. Accomplishments of this work are reflected throughout this annual report. Highlights include a 79.1 percent six-year graduation rate of NACME Scholars, compared to the national average of 39.3 percent for undergraduate minority engineering students, the launch of a new NACME
Career Center, and, in partnership with The Princeton Review, publication of the 5th edition of the NACME Guide to Engineering Colleges, available in both English and Spanish.
In preparing for the next five years, we took the time to reflect and thoroughly evaluate the external and internal factors likely to have the greatest impact on the future of the organization. After extensive interviews, competitive analysis, and future growth projections, the NACME Board of Directors approved a strategy to directly focus on NACME’s proven success supporting underrepresented minorities in higher education and into the workforce. This is NACME’s competitive advantage.
A growing body of research on diversity and team performance demonstrates the business case for diversity. Diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones. The unique perspectives and experiences of diverse teams lead to the production of better products, more ideas, and drive deeper, more productive discussions. In the work of engineers, diversity is an asset. Diversity drives innovation and its absence
imperils our designs, our products, and, most of all, our creativity—all components of competitiveness. Diverse teams help companies improve results and achieve higher financial returns.
With a network of committed academic institutions, NACME Scholar Professionals, and relationships with high-profile compa-nies, NACME is in a unique position to intensify its impact and remain a leader in moving underrepresented minorities into engineering careers.
We are excited and energized by this new vision and have restructured our organization and program team to support this strategy. We will stay laser-focused on building and executing a stellar college- to-career program for talented engineering students in need.
Large-scale social change requires broad cross-sector coordination. By leveraging NACME’s relationships, we will propel diversity in the workforce. To truly move the needle in shaping an American engineering workforce where diversity drives innovation and global competitive-ness, a focused alignment is critical.
Connectivity 2015 ends a period of intense strategic thinking and action. We enter this next phase with optimism and a renewed commitment to achieve our vision of an engineering workforce that looks like America.
As always, thank you to our board, staff, and partners for your support.
A Message from the President and Chief Executive Officer

Celebrating NACME Scholars
Development and Communication
The year 2015 was a success. Through Board Company, Corporate Council, Partner Institution, foundation, and personal gifts, NACME supported 1,343 NACME Scholars with annual scholarships of up to $5,000.
These talented underrepresented minority engineering students receive NACME scholarship dollars annually to cover the increasing cost of higher education. NACME Scholars consistently achieve average GPAs of 3.3/4.0 with a 79.1 percent six-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the national average of 39.3 percent for underrepre-sented minorities.
In 2015, Elizabeth Ross joined the NACME Staff as its Chief Development Officer. Ms. Ross, a fundraising and marketing professional, has developed an aggressive fundraising program. Her
strategic focus is to drive organizational growth and sustainability in the upcoming years, and to keep NACME focused on its core mission of bringing about college-to-career success for under- represented minorities in STEM.
NACME welcomed Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. to the NACME Board of Directors, and Accenture and Colgate-Palmolive to the NACME Corporate Council in 2015. Additionally, NACME expresses thanks to Bristol- Myers Squibb, Chevron, Dow Chemical, GE, HP, Johnson Controls, Lockheed Martin, Marathon Oil, and Northrop Grumman for significant contributions to NACME programs this year.
AT&T Continues SupportIn May, NACME announced a $300,000 contribution from the AT&T Foundation. AT&T is a founding partner of NACME
and has served on NACME’s Board of Directors since its inception in 1974. During that time, AT&T and the AT&T Foundation have contributed more than $10 million to NACME.
This year’s AT&T contribution was presented to NACME during Career Day at the High School for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture (CTEA) in Ozone Park, N.Y. Sponsor representatives and members of the media toured classrooms and saw exciting student projects on robotics, digital electronics, and engineering design. These hands-on activities educate students in the principles of engineering, and engage them in the fields of electronics, biotechnology, aerospace, civil engineering, and architecture.

The NACME Guide to Engineering Colleges The Fifth Edition of The NACME Guide to Engineering Colleges was published in collaboration with The Princeton Review, a long-term partner of NACME. The guide provides valuable information on choosing the right engineering college, �nancial aid, scholarships, and resources.
The guide features information on 480 accredited colleges of engineer-ing in the U. S. and includes details of what to do in each year of high school to prepare for college. This makes the guide the perfect resource for students to �nd schools that �t their needs, and to put them ahead of the curve when entering college.
The Toyota USA Foundation awarded NACME a grant for the production of a video to assist educators and families in using the guide. The video highlights important aspects of the guide and three key areas students should
focus on each year in high school: academics, leadership, and �nance. Both the guide and video are available on the NACME website.
The video for the guide was made possible by a grant from the Toyota USA Foundation.
Procter & Gamble and Northrop Grumman Host NACMEProcter & Gamble hosted the June 2015 Board of Directors Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, which featured a reception introducing new companies to NACME, and a tour of the famous National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
The October 2015 Board of Directors Meeting was hosted by Northrop Grumman at their Falls Church, Virginia headquarters. Wes Bush, President and CEO of Northrop Grumman and NACME Board Director from 2006-2009, addressed the NACME Board and guests. Bush discussed how the business community must band together to propel the diversity agenda. He challenged executives to avoid corporate competition. Bush also urged the group to entice students to excel in school and pursue opportunities and careers in engineering, regardless of the �elds they will ultimately choose.
In addition to growing the corporate donor base, NACME’s development and commu-nication team will create a robust NACME Scholar Professional outreach strategy to deepen connections and strengthen the relationships among NACME, corporate supporters, partner institutions, and NACME Scholars. The strategy will improve the way NACME stays connected with its scholars and include initiatives for NACME Scholars to engage with NACME, both on- and off-campus.

Celebrating NACME Scholars
Scholarships and University Relations
2015 NACME Continuum MeetingNACME’s 4th Continuum Meeting, “Celebrating NACME Partnerships,” was sponsored by Northrop Grumman and held on October 13, 2015, in their Falls Church, Virginia headquarters. The event attracted more than 50 participants representing NACME’s academic and corporate partners. The Continuum Meeting aligns with NACME’s strategic plan to strengthen and extend the linkage among its partners. The goal is to sub-stantially increase the number of URMs who earn a baccalaureate degree in engineering, while responding to the demand for highly skilled engineers.
Strategic Plan OutcomesThe “Celebrating NACME Partnerships” event focused on the accomplishments made through NACME’s college, univer-sity, and corporate partnerships as a result of collective efforts toward a shared vision for the 2010 to 2015 �ve-year strategic plan. During this �ve-year period, NACME forged a direction that focused on an education continuum that:
n Established and deepened engagement through partnerships
n Built institutional capability
n Learned from its programs
n Transferred and adapted knowledge
NACME launched the NACME Scholars Block Grant Program in 2003, with the rationale of focusing on a selection process that identi�es institutions which demonstrate their capacity to recruit, admit, retain, educate, and graduate URM engineering students. Of the 1,668 NACME Funded Scholars supported during the strategic plan for the period of 2010 to 2015, 848 (50.8 percent) graduated and 600 (35 percent) are currently enrolled and pursuing an undergraduate engineering or computer science degree.
Minority Ph.D. Programs
NACME administers the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Minority Ph.D. (MPHD) and the Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnership (SIGP) programs. These programs assist efforts to diversify the U.S. Ph.D. degree-holding workforce by increasing the recruitment, retention, and graduation of URM doctoral students in STEM, especially in �elds where national trends document persistent underrepresentation.
Now in its 20th year, the MPHD program has funded 1,808 scholars and produced 905 Ph.D. graduates in four broad disciplines – engineering, physical sciences, biological sciences, and
mathematics. The smaller and newer SIGP program has funded 153 M.S. and 76 Ph.D. American Indian/Alaska Native scholars, and produced 87 M.S. and 22 Ph.D. graduates.
Starting in 2013, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation made the bold decision to award larger grants to fewer institutions with proven success in recruiting, retaining, and graduating URM Ph.D. students. The new three-year grants seek to expand, strength-en, and institutionalize efforts aimed at minority recruitment, mentoring, educational support, and professional development. In 2013, the Foundation awarded more than
$3 million to three University Centers of Exemplary Mentoring (UCEM): Cornell University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and The Pennsylvania State University. In 2014, approximately $1.7 million in awards were made to two new UCEM partners: the University of South Florida and the University of Iowa. In 2015, the Foundation announced an award of $3 million to three new UCEMs: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of California, San Diego. All awards to scholars cover stipends and professional develop-ment activities.

NACME Career Center/NACME Scholars
NACME has energized its focus on scholar engagement. As part of this effort, NACME has replaced the former resumé directory system with a new online platform to allow NACME Corporate Supporters to connect with NACME Scholars in a more stream-lined and ef�cient way, while providing scholars with internships and full-time job opportunities.
The new NACME Career Center (careers.nacme.org) is where NACME’s Corporate Supporters can �nd outstanding under-represented minority engineering talent from NACME’s 51 Partner Institutions. NACME Supporters are able to post
internships and full-time positions, as well as search for quali�ed applicants among the community of NACME Scholars – a motivated, high-achieving group that attained an average GPA of 3.3/4.0 and a 79.1 percent six-year graduation rate. The site is uniquely designed to identify speci�c candidates with customized search features including: institution, major, GPA, employment areas of interest, and geographic location preferences.
The NACME Career Center also helps NACME Scholars �nd internships, full-time positions, and more detailed information
about NACME’s Corporate Supporters. To be eligible to search for job opportuni-ties in engineering and computer science �elds, NACME Scholars simply need to upload their resumés and complete their pro�les. The site allows scholars to search for industry-speci�c jobs, create customized job alerts, upload multiple resumés and cover letters, and monitor job application activity.

Research and Program Evaluation
NACME’s ‘Big Study’The second phase of the ‘Big Study’, NACME’s National Science Foundation (NSF) funded research project, focusing on the success factors for underrepre-sented minority students in engineering, was completed in 2015. Dr. Jacqueline Fleming, the Principal Investigator of this project, identi�ed Georgia Institute of
Technology, The University of Texas at El Paso, and North Carolina A&T State University as the NACME Partner Institutions most effective in graduating underrepresented minority students. Dr. Fleming also conducted focus groups with students and faculty at these schools to learn more about the students’ experiences in engineering education.
The success factors that emerged from this phase stresssed the importance of math skills, a problem-solving mentality, group work, networking, hands-on programming, and psychological resilience. The �nal phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in 2016, and a manuscript detailing the �ndings will be released.
NACME Publications
For 41 years, NACME has served as a premier source for research on under- represented minorities in engineering education and the engineering workforce. In 2015, NACME produced Research & Policy Briefs on African Americans, American Indian/Alaska Natives, and Latinos in Engineering.
In addition, NACME released four issues in its Point of View series on the following critical topics:
n Closing the Achievement Gap
n College Preparation and Affordability
n STEM Education and Teacher Preparation
n Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards

Policy RecommendationsRevise Teacher Training: The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) cover scienti�c topics in detail, and require teachers to have high content knowledge and the pedagogical skills to help students become active learners in the classroom. This requires a shift in traditional teacher training methods, with a greater emphasis on understanding scientific and engineering practices. It also requires teachers to have a greater understanding of culturally-relevant pedagogical techniques that are effective with underrepresented minority (URM) students, to ensure that the content is taught effectively, irrespective of
students’ demographic characteristics. Alternative teacher certi�cation programs, which enroll a higher percentage of potential URM teachers, must also be tailored to the new standards.
Receive Input from Developmental Experts: The committees who developed the Common Core Learning Standards have been criticized for excluding developmental experts and early childhood teachers (Strauss, 2013). These experts are needed on committees at the state and federal level to help the standards incorporate relevant, topical research and to ensure their appropriateness for all children.
Key ChallengesA key challenge across K-12 education is inconsistent quality of instruction. In a study of 11,115 teachers across 723 schools in 10 school districts, the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance found that the highest performing teachers were underrepresented in the most disadvantaged middle schools (NCEE, 2011). Another study showed that in 23 states, state and local governments were spending less per pupil in
the poorest school districts than they were in the most af�uent school districts (Brown, 2015). Underrepresented minorities disproportionately attend high poverty schools (where more than 75 percent of the student body is eligible for free or reduced lunch), as seen in Figure 1.
Testing results indicate that the inconsistent quality of STEM instruction and the lack of resources available to underserved communities are affecting America’s STEM competitiveness. On the Program for International Student Assessment

LATINOS IN ENGINEERINGLatinos are the fasting growing ethnic group in the United States, rising from 14.6 million in 19801 to more than 53 million in 2012. By 2050, they are expected to grow to more than 102 million, and comprise 27 percent of the overall population2. While their exponential growth in the population has led to a higher percentage of engineering degrees being earned by this group, the growth for Latinos in this �eld is considerably slower than the overall population trends, as seen in Figure 1.
There are several reasons why Latinos are underrepresented in engineering education and
the engineering workforce.
Limited Success in Early EducationThe Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) is a longitudinal study that is following a nationally representative sample of students from their kindergarten year to the spring of 2016, when most of them are expected to be in �fth grade. During the �rst year of data collection,
when all children were in kindergarten, data was collected in the fall and spring from more than 18,000 children enrolled in 970 schools. As seen in Table 1, Latino children ranked lower than their peers on both their English and math scores. The National Research Council highlights several barriers that help to explain this early de�cit. Data shows that Latino children are the least likely to be enrolled in preschool, and Latino and Black children entering kindergarten are more likely to come from families with one or more of the following risk factors: having a mother who did not

STEM Leadership Forum
In June, 2015, NACME and Procter & Gamble (P&G) presented a STEM Leader-ship Forum entitled, “Preparing Our Youth for STEM Careers.” The event took place in the John G. Smale Auditorium & Rotunda at P&G’s headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. Approximately 200 local high school students interested in STEM and business leaders exploring ways to diversify their workforces, attended the event.
Dr. Irving Pressley McPhail, NACME President and CEO, opened the forum with a presentation titled “The ‘New’ American Dilemma.” According to Dr. McPhail, The “New” American Dilemma is characterized by the persistently low number of African American, American Indian, and Latino young women and men who pursue STEM study and careers. Dr. McPhail pointed to the fact that of all bachelor of science degrees awarded in 2013, only 13.4 percent were awarded
to URMs, although they represent 31.5 percent of the general population. Dr. McPhail believes with greater equality in educational attainment, demographic disparities within the STEM workforce can be reduced, helping boost minority representation in STEM employment and U.S. leadership in technology and innovation.
Following Dr. McPhail’s remarks, forum moderator Lourdes Albacarys, Procter & Gamble’s Vice President of Research and Development, and NACME Scholar, guided the distinguished panelists in a discussion about the most effective potential methods of increasing minority participation in the STEM fields. The panel emphasized that STEM education needs to start early and involve family members with preparation starting in elementary and secondary schools. Additionally, teachers and counselors need to make sure that students are aware of STEM and
encourage interested students to enroll in challenging courses in high school, especially courses colleges look for in prospective engineering students.
NACME Board Director, William P. Gipson, Senior Vice President, Global Diversity and Research & Development, Asia Innovation at P&G remarked, “NACME’s role is critical to addressing the challenge we face of a growing talent gap in U.S. education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematic fields. Improvements in STEM graduation rates, and especially those of underrepresented minorities in the U.S., are vital to business success now and for generations to come.”
Previous STEM Leadership Forums on “Confronting the ‘New’ American Dilemma” were held in 2014 at Johnson Controls, Inc.’s headquarters in Milwaukee, Wiscon-sin and in 2013 at Hewlett Packard’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California.
