Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to release the 2013 NACME Data Book, the most
authoritative source on the state of underrepresented minority
group (African American, American Indian, and Latino) participation in
engineering education and careers.
The year 2014 marks NACME’s 40th Anniversary.
Throughout its nearly four decades of operation,
NACME has been committed to fostering research-
based changes in policies and practices to raise
awareness and promote discussion on the critical
national imperative to increase diversity with equity
in engineering education and careers. Data is the
coin of the realm in energizing this discussion. We are
proud that our data and analysis have been cited by
colleagues in K-12 education, higher education, government, and business,
and have appeared in prestigious academic journals, books, technical
reports, and websites.
The 2013 NACME Data Book is designed to be accessible and useful
to researchers, policymakers, and others. This document consists of an
overview and a CD containing six data decks complete with PowerPoint
slides. The flexible format will permit users to customize the data for their
own presentations and reports.
Please let me thank you for joining NACME in the commitment
to shape an American STEM—science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics— workforce where diversity drives innovation and global
competitiveness. We urge you to use the data in the 2013 NACME Data
Book to make the case that the solution to America’s competitiveness
problem is to activate the hidden talents of young women and men who
have traditionally been underrepresented in STEM careers—African
Americans, American Indians, and Latinos.
Cordially,

Today the vision of creating an engineering workforce that looks like America is slowly being realized. URMs earned 9,736 engineering bachelor’s
degrees in 2011, which represents 12.5 percent of the overall total. URMs also comprised 10.9 percent of the overall engineering workforce in 2010, which is a significant increase from years past, starting in 1999. Despite these gains, more work is needed to diversify the engineering pathway.
The following data shows that preparation is a major issue for URMs on the elementary and secondary levels. URM students who are enrolled in undergraduate institutions have lower retention and graduation rates compared to their peers. The statistics in these domains are even more alarming for URM women. As NACME celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2014, this comprehensive study of statistical trends in education and the workforce demonstrates how far URMs have come since 1974, and how far they still have to go in this field.
DECK 1
Increasing Diversity of the U.S. PopulationThe data in this deck provides a general picture of the overall U.S. population, and the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary population, by ethnicity. Figure 1 compares the U.S. Census Bureau’s population totals in 2012 to their projected population figures in 2050. By 2050, there will no longer be a majority race. The Latino population is expected to continue to grow rapidly, while the percentage of Asian Americans and Americans who identify with two or more races is expected to slightly
increase. The percentage of African Americans, American Indians, and Alaska Natives is expected to remain relatively constant, while the percentage of Caucasians is expected to significantly decrease.
These shifting demographics are evident in the 2012 U.S. population (see Figure 2). While Latinos comprise 17.0 percent of the overall population, they represent 20.7 percent of 18-24 year olds, and 23.2 percent of those between ages five and 17. URMs represent 30.0 percent of the overall population, 36.4 percent of college-aged students, and 37.9 percent of elementary and secondary school-aged students.
2013 NACME Data BookA Comprehensive Analysis of the “New” American Dilemma
The National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME) was founded by a group of prescient corporate executives who understood that the lack of diversity in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields imperiled business growth and threatened to suppress our nation’s competitive edge. This issue was pervasive, seen in all levels of education and the workforce. In 1977 (the first year that data is available by race in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)), underrepresented minorities (URMs – those who are African American, American Indian, or Latino) earned only 2,810, or 5.7 percent, of all engineering bachelor’s degrees. The engineering workforce was strikingly homogenous as a result.1

DECK 2
Pre-College Educational ChallengesThe diversifying U.S. population makes it clear that the key to America’s future global competitiveness in STEM is engaging underrepresented populations at all stages of the educational pathway. The data in this deck details the educational preparation of students prior to college. The low representation of URMs in STEM can be traced to the elementary and secondary school levels. Fifteen percent of Latinos and 8 percent of African Americans between the age of 16 and 24 drop out of high school, compared to 5 percent of non-Latino White students. URMs are also underprepared in core STEM curricula, as only 8.6 percent of Latinos and 6.1 percent of African Americans take calculus versus 42.2 percent of Asian students and 17.5 percent of non-Latino Whites (Snyder and Dillow, 2012). These patterns are reflected in the low SAT math scores achieved by URM students. Figure 3 details the mean SAT mathematics scores in 2012 by ethnicity. While the average score was 514, African American students averaged 428, Puerto Rican students averaged 452, Mexican American students averaged 465, other Latino students averaged 461, and American Indian/Alaska Natives averaged 489.
DECK 3
Enrollment and Persistence in EngineeringThe data in this deck details the enrollment and persistence patterns in colleges of engineering across the country. The percentage of Latinos who complete high school and enroll in college is lower than the percentage of African Americans and Whites who complete high school and enroll. Latinos, African Americans, and American Indian/Alaska Natives also have the highest enrollment in two-year institutions after high school, which can be attributed to several factors, including cost, accessibility, and location (Santiago, 2008). In addition, a low number of URMs intend to enroll in engineering upon matriculation. In 2010, only 9.3 percent of Latino students, 7.4 percent of African American students, and 5.6 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native students planned on majoring in Engineering, according to the National Science Board’s Science and Engineering Indicators 2012.
Figure 4 details the persistence patterns of students who enrolled in college and majored in computer science, engineering, or engineering technology. A large sample of students who first enrolled in the 2003-04 school year were tracked after six years. While 72.8 percent of Asian Americans and 63.7 percent of non-Latino Whites completed their degree in this time frame, only 52.3 percent of Latinos and 31.2 percent of African Americans were able to do so.

Engineering Degrees in the U.S.This deck displays the degree outcomes for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate students in engineering. Table 2 presents a detailed analysis of the ethnicity and gender of students at all three levels of education. Underrepresented minorities comprised only 12.47 percent of the total engineering bachelor’s degrees recipients in 2011. They also comprised 7.19 percent of engineering master’s degree recipients, and 3.98 percent of engineering doctoral graduates. These numbers are particularly miniscule for underrepresented minority females, who earned 2.94 percent of bachelor’s degrees,1.96 percent of master’s degrees, and 1.23 percent of doctorate degrees in engineering.
It is clear from these numbers that universities across the country are having difficulty in recruiting and graduating URMs in engineering. The institutions that awarded the most engineering bachelor’s degrees to URMs in 2011 are profiled in Table 1. Those institutions which are highlighted in blue are NACME Partner Institutions, which serve as models of best practices in developing an environment that supports diversity and recognizes the academic achievement of all students.
DECK 5
U.S. Engineering WorkforceAll of the patterns seen in the previous figures have a cumulative impact on the engineering workforce. This deck highlights the presence of underrepresented minorities in academia, and separately, in the STEM workforce. URM faculty are rarely seen at colleges of engineering throughout the country, as they represent slightly more than 6 percent of all engineering faculty members. Figure 5 details the progression of URMs in the engineering workforce over time. While URMs comprised only 10.9 percent of the engineering workforce in 2010, this represents growth from 1999, when they comprised 6.3 percent.
DECK 6
40 Year Trends, 1974 to 2014This deck highlights the growth of URM representation in engineering education and the engineering workforce over the past 40 years. The overall U.S. population has grown from 203.2 million in 1970 to 313.9 million in 2012. While the percentage of African Americans and American Indians in the population has only grown slightly in that time, the percentage of people who identify as Latino has sharply

increased. In 1980, the first year that complete census data was available on Latinos, only 6.4 percent of the population identified as such. In 2012, 17 percent of the population identified as Latino, and as seen in Figures 1 and 2, this percentage is expected to increase in the future.
Mirroring the growth of the overall population, the number of awarded engineering bachelor’s degrees has steadily increased since 1977, rising from 49,677 to 78,099. Not surprisingly, the number of bachelor’s degrees in engineering earned by Latinos has also steadily increased over this time, as seen in Figure 6. Since 1977, URMs have earned 11 percent of the 1.8 million plus undergraduate engineering bachelor’s degrees allotted. While this percentage is increasing over time, more work is needed to make engineering graduating classes look like America.

NACME ScholarsNACME has provided scholarship support for URMs in engineering since 1974. During that time, 23,718 minority engineering students have received scholarship support from NACME, and many of those who graduated are now leaders in government, industry, and academia. Figures 9 through 12 detail the demographic backgrounds of these scholars, from the 2012-13 school year, and from NACME’s founding. Overall, since 1974, 67 percent of NACME-supported scholars were male, while 56 percent were African American, 41 percent Latino, and 3 percent American Indian/Alaska Natives. In 2012-13, 68 percent of NACME Scholars were male, while 40 percent were African American, 53 percent Latino, and 6 percent American Indian/Alaska Natives. Since 1974, the most popular majors for these students were electrical engineering (31 percent) and mechanical engineering (19 percent), which is consistent with the pattern seen in 2012-13, as shown in Figures 13 and 14.
ConclusionThe U.S. population is becoming more diverse each year. By 2050, URMs will represent more than 40 percent of the population, and there will be no majority race. The demand for qualified STEM professionals is high, but the supply of STEM workers to fill these positions is at risk if underrepresented groups are not engaged in these fields. The data featured in the accompanying decks highlight some of the challenges that exist for URMs in the STEM fields. URMs complete high school at lower rates than their peers. They also score lower on their standardized test scores, which can serve as a barrier to college admission. The retention-to-graduation rates for URMs who do enroll as undergraduate STEM majors are comparatively low as well. As a result, the engineering workforce does not look like America. However, this data also shows that progress has been made. URMs earned nearly three times as many engineering bachelor’s degrees, more than four times as many engineering master’s degrees, and more than seven times as many engineering doctorate degrees in 2011 than they did in 1977. The engineering workforce is also diversifying over time, though at a slower rate than the overall population. The accompanying data decks provide in-depth information on all of the critical issues that are associated with URM participation in the engineering field, and we encourage researchers, policymakers, educators, and businesses to utilize them.
