Reflecting on my first year as the Chairman of NACME’s Board of Directors, I am very

satisfied with what we have accomplished. I am excited about the level of commitment and dedication of TEAM NACME and the level of engagement and sponsorship from all of the directors and liaisons. You continue to raise my expectations of what’s truly possible. Sitting here today looking at our strategy, the goals and objectives that we have outlined for the organization, even in the possible foreshadow of the debt ceiling, my optimism is very high. One America will emerge from the fray and we will be enabled to take several steps forward toward achieving the NACME vision, our strategy and raising the level of awareness of the NACME Brand.

I have been involved with NACME for the past six years. In that short period of time, I have seen the organization grow and transform. Today the main thrust of our business remains aligned with the core principles that were foundational in the formation of NACME in 1974, “extending opportunities for underrepresented minority students to pursue undergraduate degrees in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields.” As a professionally trained mechanical engineer working in an engineering and manufacturing environment, I can assure you that our goal of broadening the participation of the underrepresented minorities (URMs) in STEM-related curriculum is absolutely critical to helping our country retain its competitive edge in innovation and technology.

Over the past 38 years, NACME has helped 24,000 students pursue engineering degrees. But it is doing far more than just that; NACME is actively collaborating and partnering with like-minded organizations

that are also concerned about the hole in “America’s educational bucket.” NACME, is actively assisting with the development of programs that are focused on improving the effectiveness of the human resource pipeline (K-12), and is also reaching out to our legislators to make sure the issues facing our young students stay at the forefront, and are addressed.

NACME’s mission today maybe more relevant than when the organization was founded. The world markets have rapidly evolved over the last two decades, into a highly competitive global business landscape. The United States today finds itself competing in industries and business sectors where it did not compete just five years ago. In the recent past, many of our engineers, scientists, and innovators came from abroad, educated themselves, made their homes and raised their families in America. But today, with the globalization of the world, these engineers, scientists, and innovators are continuing to seek out U.S. educational opportunities but then are returning to their native countries to developing and thriving professional opportunities and careers. So, here in the U.S. we find ourselves in a precarious situation. We do not have sufficient home grown human technical talent to compete on a global level, in order to retain our position of prominence. This problem will only worsen with time.

As the Chairman of the NACME Board of Directors, I look forward to helping this organization continue to grow and expand the pipeline, but I need your help. One of the best ways to accomplish that is to encourage everyone we know in business and education to join with the leadership of NACME’s board companies in working to ensure not only that businesses can recruit the talent they require,

but that our country maintains the strong pool of technical ability it needs to sustain its economic and strategic viability.

NACME is not only a wonderful investment; it is a wonderful model of how an organization can mobilize business leaders and legislators to change the lives of thousands of students in our great nation.

Thank you for an awesome year!

Sincerely,

Arthur P. Burson Chairman of the Board, NACME, Inc. Vice President, Global Engineering Services Merck & Co., Inc.

Much of the discussion today in-and-outside of Washington, D.C., concerns

the faltering American economy. As the Editors of Scientific American observe in the November 2012 Special Election Report, “the economy is the right topic, but the discussion neglects the true driver of the country’s prosperity: scientific and technological enterprise. Half of the U.S. economic growth since World War II has come from advances in science and technology.”

Add to this concern the nation’s rapidly changing demographic situation. Currently, underrepresented minorities—those who are African American, American Indian, and Latino—constitute nearly 29 percent of the U.S. population. By 2050, these groups will account for 43 percent of the U.S. population. Contrast these metrics with the number of URMs earning bachelor’s degrees in engineering; they earned only 13 percent of all such degrees in 2009. Our purpose is to send a clear and unambiguous message that must be understood and acted upon if this nation is to retain its position of leadership in STEM and keep its competitive edge in the global marketplace of ideas and products. That message is this: The solution to America’s competitiveness problem is to activate the hidden workforce of young men and women who have traditionally been underrepresented in STEM careers.

Founded nearly four decades ago, NACME has strengthened its role as a critical part of the solution to America’s global competitiveness problem in STEM. We have been at the forefront of the national effort to increase the representation of talented African American, American Indian, and Latino women and men in STEM education and careers, at a time when the U.S. is rapidly becoming a nation of people of color.

The current NACME Strategy is anchored on four Key Results Areas (KRAs): Scholarships and University Relations; Pre-Engineering

Programs (Middle School; Academy of Engineering, a National Academy Foundation network of career academies; Community College); Research and Program Evaluation; and Engineering Public Policy. Our strategic plan, Connectivity 2015, is the blueprint for ensuring U.S. competitiveness in STEM through an investment in the hidden talent pool of URM learners. NACME remains convinced that unless we make such an investment, we will only be papering over our economic and competitiveness problems.

I believe it is safe to say that NACME has earned a seat at the table where decisions are made in Engineering Public Policy. We are pleased that NACME’s research, program evaluation data, and policy recommendations provided the conceptual foundation for two major new pieces of federal legislation. I presented oral testimony before the House Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, and was a panelist during the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Chicago. I also served on two panels—the Education Braintrust, and the STEM Braintrust during the 42nd Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus.

It was a singular and distinct honor for NACME to receive the 2012 Claire Felbinger Award for Diversity from ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). This award recognizes education-based organizations, individuals and firms in the U.S. for extraordinary success in achieving diversity and inclusiveness in the technological segments of our society.

NACME is fortunate to have board leadership from some of the most prestigious corporations in America, many of which were NACME founding members. I was pleased to welcome Cisco Systems, Inc., Rolls-Royce plc, and PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) to the board this year. I was also pleased to welcome Comcast, Delphi, Honeywell, PTC, and Gannett to the NACME Corporate

Council. The financial support, advice and guidance from these partners permit NACME to persevere in the creation of a well-educated, diverse engineering workforce.

As always, I thank you for your dedication to resolving what we at NACME have dubbed 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. We are excited about the opportunities for collaboration with you in this journey.

Cordially,

Irving Pressley McPhail, Ed.D.President and Chief Executive Officer NACME, Inc.

Since our inception in 1974, NACME has provided support to students seeking engineering degrees nationwide. However, NACME has also established itself as the most authoritative source of data and information on the participation of historically underrepresented minority students in engineering education and careers. This year, we have decided to highlight some of the data that drive our commitment to helping young underrepresented minorities succeed in engineering.

STEM JOB GROWTH WILL OUTPACE OVERALL JOBSThe Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce recently calculated that STEM occupations will grow by 17 percent between 2008 and 2018, compared to 10 percent of total jobs in the economy.

KATHLEEN D. SANCHEZMAJOR: Biomedical Engineering

INSTITUTION: Syracuse University

ACADEMIC LEVEL: B.S. Candidate, Class of 2014

EXPERIENCE: When she was a junior in high school, Sanchez and a few classmates created a marketing plan to launch and produce a fake cancer drug they’d developed. Sponsored by Novartis, the project set her on her future path. She was hooked on the intricate process of drug development and production. “Pursuing Biomedical Engineering is the best decision I ever made,” she says.

GOALS: Last summer, with help from NACME, Sanchez secured an internship at Merck & Co., Inc., where she won an award of excellence for her skill in facilitating efficient interdepartmental communication and streamlining sterilization procedures. Her talents and tenacity made a big impression on the company. Merck invited her to return for the summer of 2013. Sanchez is on her way to accomplishing her goal to improve drug development and production systems.

“ My goal is to work in clinical research to develop better drugs and drug delivery systems while reducing production costs.”

NACME is a founding partner along with the National Academy Foundation and Project Lead The Way to establish 110 Academies of Engineering, a NAF network of career academies across the country.

NACME completed a year of planning for the New York and New Jersey pilot region. NSIM integrates existing NACME program elements into a unified continuum that leverages existing partnerships for students to move along the NACME Continuum:


EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMSNACME STEM Integration Model Linkage Strategy In order to implement the NACME STEM Integration Model Linkage Strategy (NSIM), a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was established to solidify the roles and responsibilities of the Academies of Engineering (AOEs), Partner Institutions and NACME. To date the following partners in the New York/New Jersey pilot region have signed the MOU:

Academies of Engineering Agreements:• Bronx Engineering and Technology

Academy, Bronx, NY• High School for Construction Trades,

Engineering and Architecture, Ozone Park, NY

• John E. Dwyer Technology Academy, Elizabeth, NJ

• Manhattan Bridges High School, New York, NY

• Rochester STEM Academy of Engineering, Rochester, NY

Partner University Agreements:• Cornell University • New Jersey Institute of Technology• Polytechnic Institute of New York University • Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey• State University of New York, Oswego• The City College of New York

NACME’s role is to formally introduce the AOEs to our partner institutions. The primary benefit of the MOU for the AOEs is that it positions the AOE graduating seniors to

become NACME Scholars after meeting the eligibility requirements for the $2,500 NACME Pre-Engineering Scholarship.

As for our corporate partners, NACME offers them a seat on the AOE Advisory Board and they, in turn, gain access to the AOE classrooms, offer shadowing experiences for students and teachers, and provide internship and full-time positions to NACME Scholars enrolled at a NACME Partner Institution.

Data and information sharing is expected to continue as the N.Y. and N.J. regional partners develop best and promising practices that supports the launch of NSIM in Texas, as well as other regions in the future.

Pre-Engineering Programs NACME’s Pre-Engineering activities stretches from coast to coast. Our west coast-based activities sponsored by the Chevron Corporation, award scholarships to graduating seniors, enhance classroom innovation, and distribute engineering awareness materials to five schools that have implemented the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) curriculum in northern California.

AT&T is supporting 10 AOEs by helping them provide PLTW equipment for advanced classroom instruction. PLTW is the leading provider of rigorous and innovative content for STEM education programs in middle and high schools across the United States.

To see the list of schools supported by Chevron and AT&T go to: nacme.org/Programs.

K-12 Engineering OutreachMore than 10,000 copies of STEM awareness brochures for middle and high school students, parents and teachers were distributed across the country. These materials were also used as a recruiting tool for the AOEs. In addition, NACME’s posters adorn the walls of AOE classrooms illustrating the various engineering disciplines to appeal to curious young minds. Engineering Your Future: 2012 Undergraduate Bulletin was the newest pre-engineering publication this year thanks to our partners at The Princeton Review.

“ Civil engineers have a huge impact on society. I want to be in a position to bring equality to bear on urban and municipal planning.”

HUNTER BROWNMAJOR: Civil and Environmental Engineering

INSTITUTION: University of Washington

ACADEMIC LEVEL: B.S. Candidate, Class of 2013

EXPERIENCE: At 32, Hunter Brown, a member of the Kenaitze tribe from Kenai, Alaska, is 10 years older than most of his classmates. In that decade, he started a business (still going strong) and spent time in Washington, D.C., working as a legislative aide in Sen. Patty Murray’s (D-Wa.) office. When he heard that Dan Evans, former governor of Washington, started out as a civil engineer, his interest was piqued. “I decided to get into Civil and Environmental Engineering because I wanted to help enact social and environmental change on a big level,” he says. With financial support from NACME, Brown was able to attend the University of Washington. “It’s my biggest accomplishment to date,” he says.

GOALS: Brown aspires to build greener cities using sustainable materials, practices and designs “to build our cities to account for everyone’s needs rather than for the needs of a select group.” Ultimately, he wants to work in the public sector. For that, he’ll turn to NACME’s website where scholars can connect with donor corporations. “That’s another huge benefit of NACME,” he says.

In 2010-2011,

360 American Indians earned their engineering bachelor’s degrees1

“ It’s my hope that these technologies advance our understanding of how cancer metastasizes and help researchers formulate more efficient and targeted drugs.”

STEVEN M. SANTANAMAJOR: Mechanical Engineering

INSTITUTION: Cornell University

ACADEMIC LEVEL: Ph.D. Candidate, Class of 2014

EXPERIENCE: How do you “interrogate” a cancer cell? First, you have to capture it. That’s no easy task. Steven Santana is on the case. Working with a renowned research team at Cornell, he is constructing microfluidic devices that capture circulating tumor cells (CTS) from cancer patients. These CTCs are studied—interrogated—to better understand the biology of metastasis and assess how tumor cells respond to different chemotherapeutic agents. Santana’s vital role in this research wouldn’t have been possible without his Alfred P. Sloan Minority Ph.D. Graduate Scholarship. “I would not be a graduate student,” he says. “And I wouldn’t have the financial freedom to focus exclusively on study, research and collaboration.”

GOALS: In between college and grad school, Santana earned a master’s degree in education and taught math in inner city schools in Los Angeles. He remains “very concerned with education and social justice.” After completing his Ph.D., he plans to continue his research in microfluidics and cancer while teaching at a college level. He hopes to engage and encourage students trained in science and engineering to take their expertise into public schools to inspire and teach the next generation of engineers.

NACME is the largest private provider of undergraduate scholarships in engineering for URMs. With an increase in funding, NACME was able to expand its flagship scholarship program to $5.6 million in fiscal year 2012, successfully supporting more than 1,200 URM students. This was made possible through the generosity of our corporate funders and university partners. NACME’s goal is to maximize its efficiency by directing most of its funding to programs. In fiscal year 2012, 83 percent of our spending supported programs and 17 percent supported management and development spending.

On average, NACME Scholars earn a 3.3 grade point average on a 4.0 scale and earned bachelor’s degrees in engineering at a rate of 82 percent.

Leveraged PartnershipsNACME has partnered with 50 academic institutions with a focus on increasing the production of URM undergraduate engineers. Together they produce 30 percent of the next generation of URM engineers. These graduates will add their unique insights, imagination, and ingenuity as they join the cadre of engineers in the nation’s global workforce.

Minority Ph.D. Programs NACME also administers the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Minority Ph.D. Program and the

Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnerships (SIGP). The aim is to produce 100 URM Ph.D. graduates in STEM disciplines each year. Through a network of partnerships including 59 faculty nationwide, the program has produced 842 Ph.D. graduates.

Community College Transfer ScholarshipsThrough the NACME Scholars (Block Grant) Program, our partner universities provided scholarship support to 110 students who transferred from community colleges. These students received a total of $220,100 in scholarship funding, which will enable them to complete a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Thirty-one transfer students completed their B.S. degree in engineering at the end of the 2011-2012 academic year.

RESEARCH AND PROGRAM EVALUATIONNACME Graduating Scholars Survey (2010-2011)The NACME Graduating Scholars Survey was administered to seniors who were enrolled in NACME’s 26 Partner Institutions to learn about their experiences in undergraduate engineering programs, and their plans after graduation. Several key findings:

• As seen in previous years, the NACME Scholarship was the most commonly cited funding source among scholars, with 88 percent stating that it was “very important” for their undergraduate education.

• Surveyed scholars received 64 internship and co-op experiences at 93 different companies throughout college, and over half (56 percent) indicated that their internship experience provided them with “a lot” of skills or knowledge applicable to their engineering coursework.

• When asked about their educational plans for the next 12 months (after graduation), the majority of scholars (74 percent) planned to pursue some graduate coursework. Sixty percent of scholars expressed some interest in pursuing a doctoral degree.

NACME Research Briefs This past year, with the support of lead researcher Watson Scott Swail, Ed.D., from the Research and Policy Advisory Council (RPAC), NACME published Volume 2 of a series of Research Briefs. Each brief is designed to capture data on underrepresented minority engineers for individuals and like-minded organizations to make the case for a STEM workforce. The briefs are disseminated to key members of Congress and federal agencies that support STEM education.

Research Briefs:

No. 1: Critical Issues in Engineering Education Policy

No. 2: American Indians in Engineering

No. 3: Engineering Salaries

No. 4: African Americans in Engineering

No. 5: Latinos in Engineering

No. 6: NACME Scholars

The NACME Comprehensive Symposium ReportThe 2011 NACME National Symposium was held on October 18-20 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Leaders from academia, business, and government sectors gathered to help grow the number of URMs in STEM fields. The

report captures the best practices, ideas, and insights that were shared at this gathering which was hosted by 3M.

2011 NACME Data BookThe 2011 NACME Data Book is a unique resource that enhances NACME’s standing as the authoritative source of data and information on the participation of underrepresented populations in engineering education and careers. Five major topic areas were covered:

NACME Scholars: High AchieversThe accomplishments of NACME Scholars are a constant source of inspiration and makes us commit to redoubling our efforts to expand support for their academic achievements as they move into their careers. Whether working as an intern for Boeing, such as Deanne Turpin, Biological Systems Engineering, Kansas State University ’13, as a part of the flight sciences weights engineering group, or through their study of Civil Engineering, such as Sukari Brown from Polytechnic Institute of NYU ’13, our NACME Scholars know there are no limits to what they can accomplish.

They know they have the support and encouragement of NACME’s national network of university administrators, corporate and foundation leaders, and other individuals and alumni who provide financial support and an invisible hand, helping them along the way. These advocates share our commitment to increasing the participation of URMs in STEM careers not just because it’s the right thing to do but because they recognize that it is essential to the success of their business and our nation in a high-tech economy.

Philanthropic SupportBy the end of our 2012 fiscal year, philanthropic support for NACME topped $4.1 million. Support from our board of directors provided

the life-blood to our programs in scholarships, pre-engineering, research and program evaluation, and engineering public policy. This year, we welcomed Broadcom and Rolls-Royce plc to our board and we look forward to their participation and contributions both financial and intellectual.

NACME would like to thank the ExxonMobil Foundation for its generous multi-year, $1 million grant. These funds will support NACME Scholars and our pre-engineering program.

Corporate CouncilOur growing Corporate Council continues to provide members with important business networking opportunities for our members along with access to our Online Resume Directory of scholars for potential internship or full-time positions. New additions of Comcast, Delphi, Honeywell, PTC and Gannett are encouraging signals of growing support from the business community.

Friends of NACMENew this coming year is “Friends of NACME.” This is a society of small businesses, like-minded organizations and individuals who desire to support NACME, and are able to do so at lower levels than our corporate partners. Whether with a gift of $100 or $500, we

welcome all levels of support for NACME and have crafted a benefit structure for these donors. In addition, a special Scholarship Challenge is in place for the coming year, with the donor matching new and increased gifts up to a total of $50,000.

NACME AlumniIn the year ahead, we are also looking to expand our network of NACME Alumni. Successful NACME Scholar Alumni stretch across all business sectors and are further evidence of the excellence they exemplify. Join our LinkedIn group and let NACME help build your professional network throughout your career. Consider giving back to help the next generation of NACME Scholars achieve their dream of joining the engineering profession and contributing in meaningful ways to finding solutions to the world’s most critical challenges.

INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT

NACME has become increasingly influential on Capitol Hill over the past several years, providing data on URM students in STEM that have been used in legislative pieces being considered by Congress. Those are: H.R. 4483, Broadening Participation in STEM Education Act, introduced by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas); and S. 3475, Women and Minorities in STEM Booster Act of 2012, introduced by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La).

Capitol Hill EventNACME and Rep. Johnson held a joint press conference to introduce the Broadening Participation in STEM Education Act, as well as to re-release the 2011 NACME Data Book, on Tues. April 24, 2012 in Washington, D.C. The purpose of Rep. Johnson’s bill is to help increase the

number of students from underrepresented minority groups earning degrees in STEM fields at the undergraduate level, as well as to expand the number of faculty members from underrepresented minority groups at colleges and universities.

InfluenceIn addition to being asked to testify before Congressional committees, NACME’s efforts in the policy arena have provided new and exciting opportunities to introduce its work to a much larger audience. In the spring, Dr. McPhail was asked to participate during the Clinton Global Initiative’s first ever panel on the future of STEM education. He also participated in two panels focused on STEM education during the 42nd Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Our MissionTo 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 PurposeOur 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 BeliefsWe 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.
