, manufacturing, health care, and aerospace and defense sectors will face veryhigh rates of retirement.A 2005 survey of 400 U.S. tool-and-die and machining companies, conducted by the NationalTooling and Machining Association, found that skilled job openings equaled 4.7% of totalskilled shop employment6. The shortage of entry-level technicians may be due to high schoolstudents’ not being aware of potential benefits of careers in industrial automation. Harry Moser,president of AgieCharmile, a leader in the machine tool industry notes, "It’s a question ofperception. A technical A.S. and apprenticeship may not give you the prestige of a four-yeardegree, but will probably give you a better outcome." Frauenheim notes that young people needto understand that

Regardless of classification, there is clear evidencethat MEOs support the achievement of minority students pursuing technical majors.How MEOs contribute to the success of URMs in engineering and other technical majorsSuccess for undergraduates in engineering culminates in the completion of the bachelor’s degree.To arrive at that point, minority students must overcome the many structural, institutional, andpecuniary challenges that so often deter their peers. Although there are many critical points in anacademic career at which minority students are discouraged from becoming engineers, most
