O ver the past three years, NACME has been actively engaged in developing and implementing a long-term strategic plan designed to guide its middle school-to-workforce-entry continuum of activities The year 2007 was devoted to the refinement of that plan in

light of expanded activities in our pre-engineering program and new thrusts in research and policy studies This year’s strategic planning process was truly an organization-wide one that involved all members of the NACME headquarters team, our board members and liaisons, and representatives from advisory committees and our network of partners Our goal has been to fill the gaps in our portfolio of programs and to create opportunities for synergistic partnerships and innovative leveraging of ideas and resources in order to fulfill our mission

This past year has also been a period in which we have focused on the NACME brand and the ways in

which our programs and activities can be communicated more effectively to a broad range of constituents.

We have created a new logo and a new tagline, both of which telegraph that we are an organization on the

move and one that is dedicated to helping more underrepresented minority students achieve their dream of

becoming engineers.

Since its founding in 1974, NACME has depended upon the generosity, counsel, and encouragement

of corporations, foundations, universities, and individuals who share NACME’s vision of an engineering

graduating class and, ultimately, an engineering workforce that looks like America. As America becomes

inexorably more diverse and finds itself competing for global leadership in scientific and technological

innovation and productivity, our mission becomes critical to our nation’s progress and success. We are

grateful for the tremendous support we have received from our many benefactors and friends and we thank

them for their continuing expressions of confidence and encouragement. We hope that this annual report

will not only assure our current supporters that their beneficence is well directed but also convince others

to back NACME as well.

On the pages of this annual report you will find that NACME is both committed to providing more

opportunities for underrepresented minorities to study engineering and devoted to helping them achieve

success throughout their educational experience. We hope that you will join us on this journey. Our efforts

and your help are more important now than ever before.

A Joint Message from the President and the Chairman

NACME has been a leader in promoting opportunity and inclusiveness in the fields of engineering and technology since its inception in 1974 Over 33 years, NACME has provided more than $100 million to more than 20,000 underrepresented minority engineering students at more than 160

colleges and universities The result has been a growing cadre of highly skilled and educated minority engineers and future business leaders

NACME works with an extraordinary group of donors, universities, and students, and is engaged with some of the most powerful players in the political, business, higher education, and civic sectors. I was therefore honored to join NACME as its executive vice president and chief operating officer at the beginning of 2007. Our pre-engineering programs had recently expanded and our research and policy activities were taking on a new direction. My first action as COO was to build organization-wide belief and commitment to an accelerated strategic plan in which all members of “Team NACME” have some ownership.

In the pages that follow, you will see how the NACME strategy is reenergizing a national effort to increase the numbers of underrepresented men and women in the high-tech workforce. We have set our goals higher still for the coming three-year period.

With national partners, we will create a steady stream of middle school and high school students prepared for college and for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers, and enhance the community-college pathway to engineering careers. In our university programs, we will grow the base of scholarship support from $1.7 million to $2.1 million in 2010; increase the capacity of our academic partner institutions to recruit, admit, retain, educate, and graduate minority engineering students; and disseminate the “best practices” developed at our core universities to the universe of engineering schools in America.

Our research will reestablish NACME as the premier source of data and analysis on underrepresented minorities in STEM education, and will drive policy in the national agenda for equity and excellence in education.

Reintroduced to the public through our exciting new brand identity and marketing strategy, NACME will deliver a strengthened value proposition and coordinated program of events and multimedia publications.

Our institution will advance through broader support from corporations, foundations, and individuals, and from major grants.

We intend to make planning a way of life, a way of thinking, throughout NACME. I remain confident of the commitment of every individual in our organization during this next three-year planning horizon, and I invite you to join us on NACME’s renewed journey to success for underrepresented minorities in engineering.

Some 40 state legislatures enacted STEM bills, and in August 2007 President George W. Bush signed the America Competes Act, which dramatically increased government funding for teaching STEM subjects and had broad bipartisan support. Businesses backed STEM education with a rich variety of partnerships, programs, and funding. As STEM initiatives and advocates have proliferated, groups such as the National Science Foundation have urged collaboration among federal, state, and local efforts, especially to support K–12 STEM education. What the STEM “movement” needs right now, it seems, is a coordinated effort to link its multiple stakeholders and combine its abundant resources.

Since the organization’s founding in 1974, NACME and its partner organizations have sought to develop a geographically well-planned, carefully sequenced portfolio of initiatives, coordinating resources and activities every step of the way.

NACME has always supported underrepresented minorities along a continuum of educational experience. NACME’s belief is that all young people need to be prepared for college, and all college students need to be prepared for work in a technologically advancing world. Delivering university scholarships remains NACME’s core function. However, the organization has also created programs that include partnerships to form a coherent career development pathway along which a student may journey successfully from middle school to acceptance at and graduation from our nation’s engineering institutions—and into the workplace. In this way NACME helps to strengthen the number of underrepresented Americans in STEM fields.

university Programs NACME’s principal outreach effort, consuming 70 percent of the annual budget, is the awarding of scholarship grants to minority engineering students through a national network of college and university partners. In 2006, nearly one-third of underrepresented minority students in the nation graduating with engineering degrees did so from NACME partner institutions. Since the mid-1990s, the retention-to-graduation rate of NACME scholars has exceeded 83 percent, which is more than twice the national retention average for minority engineering students nationwide and nearly 20 points higher than that of all engineering students regardless of ethnicity. In 2006–07 the number of scholars NACME supported increased by 20 percent. A total of $1.7 million was awarded in scholarships and $2.5 million was made available through universities’ in-kind support.

According to NACME research, underrepresented minority engineering students tend to succeed at colleges and universities where the leadership strongly supports initiatives for inclusion. NACME currently commits grants of $100,000 to $125,000 over five years to each of 27 selected universities that have demonstrated a thorough commitment to diversity. These partner institutions (see page 15) use the grants as scholarships to recruit and retain underrepresented minority engineering students.

The 2006–07 school year was a milestone for the scholarship grant program. NACME commissioned an evaluation of the initial three-year experience of the first group of 13 partner institutions. Dr. Watson Scott Swail, president of the Educational Policy Institute and author of the evaluation, concluded: “The NACME block grant program helps students in a way that can make or break their future. The program is illuminating the engineering pathway and helping to propel careers.”

In July of 2007, NACME conducted its annual University and Corporate Partner Workshop, sponsored by a grant from Chevron. Sixty-five corporate executives, educators, deans, college administrators, and program directors joined the NACME staff at the University of Colorado at Boulder to share information and experiences on engineering education.

These workshops are NACME’s primary vehicle for disseminating information about best practices in recruiting, enrolling, educating, and graduating underrepresented minority students in engineering. The 2007 workshop also featured a discussion of the implications for race-based scholarships in the current climate of ambiguity over affirmative action. Of particular interest, given NACME’s new emphasis on the community-college pathway to engineering, were initial lessons learned from the pilot of the NACME/Qualcomm Community College Pre-Engineering Student Transfer Scholarship Program.

Regardless of their stated expectations on entering community college in the 2003–2004 academic year, when surveyed again three years later, more students from the sample group of about 18,600 were attending or had attained a degree from a four-year college than had achieved a lesser goal. NACME programs to facilitate community college transfers into university schools of engineering are a new focus for the organization.

student tool-kit for effective studying. In addition, NACME supports the ACE (Architecture, Construction and Engineering) mentor program, which connects engineering and other professionals with urban high school students. Finally, the NACME Pre-Engineering Scholarship Program awards financial aid to high-performing minority high school seniors who are committed to careers in science and technology, and the STEM Innovation Grant Program gives money to teachers pursuing special classroom projects (see page 5).

New NACME pre-engineering initiatives include partnership in the Academies of Engineering (AOEs) (see press release excerpt, page 4). In 2006,

a collaboration was initiated with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) and Project Lead The Way (PLTW). In 2007, the project, funded by grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Motorola, Verizon, and Xerox, got under way. (Photographs of students attending one of 13 proposed pilot academies, the High School for Construction Trades, Engineering, and Architecture in Queens, New York, are featured in the pages of this report.) The network of 9th-through-12th-grade academies, projected to grow to 110 by 2012, is being established nationally within high schools that serve underrepresented minorities. Courses taught around a broad technical core curriculum prepare students to pursue postsecondary engineering and

Community College Programs With the support of Qualcomm, NACME’s two-year pilot project identifies underrepresented minority students who are strong in the study of math and science at community colleges in San Diego, and encourages them to pursue engineering studies at the University of California at San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering. Project leaders described the engineering school’s remarkable outreach efforts, including an admissions fair where prospective students could fill out applications on the spot and access mentors on campus available to provide guidance on engineering studies. While every one of the project’s eight-student cohort managed the transition successfully in the first year of the pilot, two students took full advantage of the program’s abundant resources and also “gave back”—by participating in statewide symposia and professional development activities, tutoring, and acting as advisors to other students.

Until recently, community colleges have been somewhat overlooked as pathways to engineering careers for underrepresented minority students. Yet with 47 percent of all of the nation’s African American undergraduates, 56 percent of Latino undergraduates, and 57 percent of American Indian undergraduates attending community colleges, NACME is strengthening its focus on two-year colleges.

NACME and Prince George’s Community College in Maryland have joined forces to strengthen the math and science skills of underrepresented minority high school students in preparation for successful completion of STEM majors in college. In the Pipeline Partnership for the Advancement of Engineering Education program, NACME provides scholarships to cover the full tuition and fees for public high school students in Prince George’s County to take calculus and science courses at the community college, and receive career advisement and mentoring. Nine students are currently participating in the program.

As NACME works to grow the base of scholarship grants significantly by 2010, it does so with a renewed commitment to what CEO Dr. John Brooks Slaughter calls “equity and excellence.” Knowing that NACME’s best practices are understood and being applied throughout a national network, the organization looks forward to measuring the success of its university scholarship programs student by student in the coming years. Pre-Engineering Programs The NACME pre-engineering studies strategy expands the organization’s outreach to underrepresented minority communities by targeting students, parents, teachers, counselors, schools, local businesses, and other relevant stakeholders in middle schools and high schools.

In conjunction with The Princeton Review, for example, NACME has published The NACME Guide to Engineering Colleges, which provides minority students and parents with essential information on every accredited engineering school in the United States.

Regardless of their stated expectations on entering community college in the 2003–2004 academic year, when surveyed again three years later, more students from the sample group of about 18,600 were attending or had attained a degree from a four-year college than had achieved a lesser goal. NACME programs to facilitate community college transfers into university schools of engineering are a new focus for the organization.

In addition, NACME supports the ACE (Architecture, Construction and Engineering) mentor program, which connects engineering and other professionals with urban high school students. Finally, the NACME Pre-Engineering Scholarship Program awards financial aid to high-performing minority high school seniors who are committed to careers in science and technology, and the STEM Innovation Grant Program gives money to teachers pursuing special classroom projects (see page 5).

New NACME pre-engineering initiatives include partnership in the Academies of Engineering (AOEs) (see press release excerpt, page 4). In 2006,

a collaboration was initiated with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) and Project Lead The Way (PLTW). In 2007, the project, funded by grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Motorola, Verizon, and Xerox, got under way. (Photographs of students attending one of 13 proposed pilot academies, the High School for Construction Trades, Engineering, and Architecture in Queens, New York, are featured in the pages of this report.) The network of 9th-through-12th-grade academies, projected to grow to 110 by 2012, is being established nationally within high schools that serve underrepresented minorities. Courses taught around a broad technical core curriculum prepare students to pursue postsecondary engineering and

Community College Programs With the support of Qualcomm, NACME’s two-year pilot project identifies underrepresented minority students who are strong in the study of math and science at community colleges in San Diego, and encourages them to pursue engineering studies at the University of California at San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering. Project leaders described the engineering school’s remarkable outreach efforts, including an admissions fair where prospective students could fill out applications on the spot and access mentors on campus available to provide guidance on engineering studies.

February 2007In “After Michigan, What? The Next Steps for Affirmative Action,” a publication of the Education Policy Institute, NACME discusses the origins of affirmative action and the potential impact of recent legislative rulings on the educational opportunities for students of color.

April 2007Addressing a national symposium at the University of Minnesota, Dr. John Brooks Slaughter challenges higher education faculty to “walk the talk” of inclusion in his speech, “Creating a Faculty of Equity and Excellence: Recruiting, Retaining, and Advancing Faculty of Color.” NACME presents strategies for a creative and diverse workforce at the 2007 IBM Technical Leadership Exchange in Anaheim, California, in “Imagine the Possibilities: Building and Keeping a Diverse Workforce.”

May 2007At “Retention 2007,” the Educational Policy Institute’s second annual international conference on student retention, held in San Antonio, Texas, NACME leadership takes a prominent role in panels, presentations, and speeches on the conference theme.

“The issue of affirmative action transcends and encompasses the subject of Retention 2007,” Dr. Slaughter announces in “Leveling the Playing Field: Improving Access to a College Education,” the closing address of the meeting. Dr. Slaughter calls policymakers to a higher moral ground, away from the “designer school mentalities and the pursuit of ‘best in class’ rankings by U.S. News and World Report.” Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Irving Pressley McPhail introduces key NACME strategies as copresenter of “Community College Pathways to Engineering Careers for Students of Color.” Chief Financial Officer John Eppolito presents the Academies of Engineering initiative with collaborative partners from the National Academy Foundation and Project Lead The Way. Vice President for University Programs Aileen Walter copresents “Leading-Edge Practices in the Success of Underrepresented Minority Engineering Students.”

July 2007In “Increasing the Representation of Minorities in STEM,” testimony presented at the Congressional Black Caucus Education Summit in Washington, D.C., Dr. Slaughter frames the national discussion of STEM in terms of minority representation, and makes five recommendations for the caucus’s action: to encourage families to pursue first-rate education; to demand of our education system a quality education for all students; to require qualified teachers who are appropriately compensated; to support deserving yet financially needy students; and, in Dr. Slaughter’s words, to “realize that this is a marathon, not a sprint.”

S ince November 2001, NACME has been proud to partner with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, a $1.8 billion philanthropic

nonprofit that funds work in science and technology education and careers. In support of the foundation, NACME manages two innovative graduate scholarship programs focusing on increasing the number of underrepresented American minorities in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering graduate programs. The Minority Ph.D. Program, established by the Sloan Foundation in 1995, offers eligible doctoral candidates the opportunity to pursue their degrees with financial, mentoring, and guidance support through participating faculty and departments approved by the Sloan Foundation. The American Indian Graduate Program, initiated in 2003 through a partnership between the University of Arizona and the Sloan Foundation, was expanded in the fall of 2005 to include the participation of select faculties and departments at Purdue University, at the University of Montana at Missoula, and at Montana Tech of the University of Montana at Butte.

Recently, the Motorola Foundation has taken a national leadership position on the underrepresentation of minorities in multiple sectors of the workforce. Realizing that certain critical baseline data for African American, Latino, and American Indian participation in engineering was more than 10 years old, Motorola and NACME together began the project of updating the data to understand current trends. A portfolio of NACME studies was commissioned, funded by the Motorola Foundation, for release in early 2008.

The trio of full-length reports, one each on African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians, offers detailed data from the continuum of minority engineers’ experience: from college preparation through enrollment and study at all degree levels to participation in the labor force. The reports include statistics and analysis of earnings of minorities in engineering occupations and the respective groups’ representation among engineering education faculty.

For their scope alone, the reports are expected to have impact and value for educators at all levels. Better preparation in STEM subjects is clearly needed across the board for high school and college students. The NACME/Motorola study focuses on detailed differences between and among the STEM-related education needs and participation of the three ethnicities. It can therefore guide educators in the choice of specific strategies for teaching and counseling students in STEM disciplines. Trends analyzed in the reports will be of particular use to workforce planners concerned about where the next generation of qualified engineers is coming from.

Ensuring that the reports reach the largest number of influential readers is one of NACME’s key goals for the project. That target audience includes leaders at:

Universities, including those at the 334 schools of engineering approved by ABET (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)State departments of educationNational science and engineering foundations Corporations with an interest in a STEM-prepared workforce.

Also in 2007, NACME established formal partnerships with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Commission on Professionals in Science and Technology (CPST) to collect data for the project and assist in analysis and evaluation.

NACME revamped its scholarship program in 2003. The program leverages NACME’s partnerships with universities to maximize the retention to graduation of underrepresented minority students. In 2006, NACME commissioned an evaluation of the initial three years of the program, using information gathered from the first 13 institutions to receive the grants. During site visits and extensive interviews with NACME Scholars, engineering school faculty, and senior administrators, NACME asked what impact the program had on students’ GPAs, on their overall performance, and on their staying in programs of study through graduation. Results showed that NACME Scholars averaged a GPA of 3.2, higher than the average for all engineering undergraduates, and that the NACME Scholars’ retention to graduation was 83 percent, 20 percentage points higher than that of engineering undergraduates in general.

Institutional Advancement and Operations

The U.S. economy is reduced by more than $100 billion and our science and engineering corporations are suffering $4.5 billion annually in lost productivity simply because of our inability to create and sustain a diverse workforce. Beyond productivity, the overall cost of the shortfall of minority engineers to our nation and the world is incalculable.

NACME’s 40-member board of directors, its 16-member staff, and its 47 university partners are united in their commitment to increase minority participation in engineering education and the workforce. The organization’s proven program results, judicious fiscal management, efficient operations, and focused strategies have inspired trust in NACME for more than 30 years. One manifestation of this trust is NACME’s success in the area of institutional advancement. As the financial statements on pages 16 and 17 of this report show, in Fiscal Year 2007, contributions from donors increased by $1.7 million over the previous year, driven primarily by the NACME bi-annual awards dinner and foundation grants in addition to core support from corporations.

“…Cosby started and finished the night by telling the relatively affluent audience that their money was good. Indeed, important. But there is much more to it than money.

He said we needed to ‘massage the brain(s)’ of these students. Make engineering exciting and motivate students to work their way toward STEM careers, which must start at middle school due to the enhanced mathematics and science curriculum necessary for admissions.”

Despite decades of work by organizations dedicated to improving minorities’ access to the sciences, today only 4 percent of underrepresented minority high school graduates complete the math and science courses necessary to enter the engineering field

DevelopmentIf America is to sustain its leadership in research, technological development, and manufacturing, the numbers of persons from underserved and underrepresented communities who are prepared to enter engineering education and pursue technical careers must increase dramatically.

This vision was shared with 530 of America’s most influential citizens, including NACME Founder’s Award winner Stephen D. Bechtel, Jr., and Family, at NACME’s 2006 Awards Dinner and Celebration, a black-tie event held at the Waldorf=Astoria hotel in New York on October 17, 2006. Corporate and individual dinner sponsors contributed $1 million for NACME scholarships in support of the event, while universities committed $3.4 million of in-kind scholarship support. Net proceeds for the event were used to provide additional scholarships for underrepresented minority engineering students. Bill Cosby’s appearance was a highlight of the evening.

Marketing and CommunicationsIn 2007, NACME embarked on a strategic effort to improve and explain its expanded portfolio of programs to key constituencies: students, parents, educators, corporations, government officials, financial supporters, and the media.

Guided by A3 Creative Group, a national education communications firm, NACME has refined the vision for the organization, and rebranded itself with an expression of that vision. The dynamic logo and the tagline, “Creating Opportunities, Ensuring Success,” now appear on everything NACME publishes, from publications to proposals. Along with the new look and message, NACME is telling its story clearly and compellingly throughout all of its program areas.

For example, NACME’s core focus is to support the engineering education and career development of minority youth. This support includes disbursing scholarships but is not limited to that activity. To raise awareness of that support among 13- to 24-year-olds, NACME created the “NACME Backs Me” brand. The message to minority youth: NACME is with you at every critical point in your path to engineering.

NACME Names Dr. Irving Pressley McPhail

Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer

WhITE PLAINs, NY—February 15, 2007—The National Action Council for

Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME), the nation’s largest private source of

scholarships for African American, American Indian and Latino women and men

in engineering and technology, today announced the appointment of Dr. Irving

Pressley McPhail as executive vice president and chief operating officer. With more

than 30 years’ experience as a teacher, scholar, advocate, and senior executive in

higher education and public school administration, McPhail has an outstanding

record of promoting racial and ethnic equity and diversity at all levels of education.

Institutional Advancement and Operations

The U.S. economy is reduced by more than $100 billion and our science and engineering corporations are suffering $4.5 billion annually in lost productivity simply because of our inability to create and sustain a diverse workforce. Beyond productivity, the overall cost of the shortfall of minority engineers to our nation and the world is incalculable.

NACME’s 40-member board of directors, its 16-member staff, and its 47 university partners are united in their commitment to increase minority participation in engineering education and the workforce. The organization’s proven program results, judicious fiscal management, efficient operations, and focused strategies have inspired trust in NACME for more than 30 years. One manifestation of this trust is NACME’s success in the area of institutional advancement. As the financial statements on pages 16 and 17 of this report show, in Fiscal Year 2007, contributions from donors increased by $1.7 million over the previous year, driven primarily by the NACME bi-annual awards dinner and foundation grants in addition to core support from corporations.

A new website, www.NACMEBacksMe.org is full of valuable information for students, parents, and educators. The NACME website, www.NACME.org, is also being redesigned to provide richer information to corporate and foundation partners and potential sponsors.

To inform the national discussion of public policy regarding minority engineering education and employment issues, the organization has initiated educational programs that provide information to policymakers, news writers, educators, and the public. NACME has developed new distribution channels for its research reports and editorials, and has identified opportunities for its executive team to engage in public programs on engineering education and diversity.

The role of communications in ensuring NACME’s financial stability is to make known the value of an investment in NACME. In addition to supporting a network of talented students through scholarships, NACME’s donors are investing in real action to solve serious national problems affecting all businesses. NACME illustrates this value to constituents through a spectrum of targeted publications, development initiatives, and individual contact points.

New Communities for Donors

A new initiative to attract major gifts, the Leadership Gift Society is helping to reach new donors. On its Roll of Honor,

the society recognizes individuals who make annual gifts of more than $1,000, and those who include bequest provisions for NACME in their estate planning.

America’s largest private source of scholarships for African American, American Indian, and Latino engineering students reaches thousands through a national delivery system focused on higher-education partners.

DALLAs, November 2006—

ExxonMobil Foundation has made a

$270,000 contribution to the National

Action Council for Minorities in

Engineering (NACME), which will

be used to support various programs

including scholarships for minority

engineering students. Over 30 years,

ExxonMobil has provided NACME

with more than $10 million in support.

ExxonMobil Donates $270,000 to NACME:

Grant Brings Total support Up to $10 Million

Over the Past 30 Years

Lean and balanced operations support NACME’s work to strengthen diversity in the American engineering workforce. (Above) Student Erick Davila works on a project.

Students, parents, teachers, counselors, and college faculty turn to NACME publications for up-to-date guidance on education opportunities in engineering for underrepresented minorities.

Strategic and Operational PlanningFor a national enterprise with a decades-long legacy of achievement, NACME has a small staff. In order to reach its objectives, NACME’s staff of 16 must stay focused on priorities and work toward them incrementally. In the spring of 2007, Dr. Irving Pressley McPhail began a new analysis of NACME’s operations to determine where best to apply the organization’s limited resources.

NACME is developing a model for financial growth that will lessen dependency on current sources of income and create new revenue streams. The organization is also exploring other categories of institutions, such as community colleges, in order to expand its national footprint, and is streamlining NACME’s internal systems so that staff can work more productively toward real-world goals.

Through NACME’s network of corporate and university partners, $4 7 million in
