The “New” American Dilemma

The relative absence of African Americans, American Indians, and Latinos in STEM study and careers, and the requirement to reverse this situation to better compete globally,

is what we refer to as the “New” American Dilemma.

4

What Is NACME?Our Mission

To ensure American competitiveness in a flat world by leading and supporting the national effort to expand U.S. capability through increasing the number of successful African American, American Indian, and Latino women and men in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and careers.

Our VisionAn engineering workforce that looks like America.

Our GoalWorking with our partners to produce an engineering graduating class that looks like America.

Our Purpose Our aim is to increase the proportion of African American, American Indian, and Latino graduates in STEM education and careers, our metric is parity in the workforce, and our methodology is connecting the network of like-minded individuals and organizations that share a commitment to these aims.

Our Beliefs We believe in the concept of the “learning organization,” a community in which each member is encouraged and assisted to grow and develop. We support a NACME culture that is informed by our mission. We focus on the results—increasing the proportion of African American, American Indian and Latino graduates in STEM education and careers. We are active, optimistic and engaged. We are creative, innovative and disciplined in our approach. We strive to be effective team members who are committed to doing our best work and to delivering the best results for our partners along the continuum from middle school to workforce entry.

Academy of Engineering Strategy

Established partnership with National Academy Foundation (NAF) and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) to open 110 Academies of Engineering (AOE). 81 AOEs are currently established.

The Academy of Engineering mission is to prepare a more diverse group of students to meet national college readiness and national learning standards for engineering education at the college and university level and for engineering-related careers.

Small-learning communities focused on engineering education and college readiness.

The first class of AOE seniors graduated in June 2012.

NACME Board Companies serve on AOE Advisory Boards.
