Make a Difference
Data from The National Science Foundation’s “The State of U.S. Science & Engineering 2022” report states that “Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented among students earning S&E degrees and among STEM workers with at least a bachelor’s degree. However, their share of STEM workers without a bachelor’s degree is similar to their share in the U.S. workforce.”
A pillar of our mission is to increase these numbers.
In addition to black engineers being underrepresented in higher education and the workforce, the same publication states that “Disparities in K–12 STEM education and student performance across demographic and socioeconomic categories and geographic regions are challenges to the U.S. STEM education system, as is the affordability of higher education.”
Among this national disparity, Black students fall at the very bottom of all races. Our Pre College Initiatives are designed to introduce, promote, and encourage our youth towards engineering and science majors and careers.
