5500 African American who had Ph.D. degree inScience, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (SMET) were employed in the SMETfield. Only 5.6% of the enrollment in SMET of graduate schools were African American,Hispanic American and Native American (AAHANA) students. There is an urgent need totrain minority students in SMET field. Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCUs) are the primary source of African-American scientists in the US, and HBCUparticipation in training of students in SMET field is critical.To respond to this critical need, the Mathematics, Information and Computational Sciences(MICS) division of the U.S. Department of Energy created an Alliance for ComputationalScience Collaboration in 1997.

Figure 2 takesa similar view of overall enrollments at MUSE, and indicates significant diversitythroughout the program, and not just at the freshman year.Currently, Mercer is one of only two colleges/universities in the state of Georgia thatoffers baccalaureate degrees in engineering. So unlike many other states, students inGeorgia who would like to study engineering in college while remaining close to homehave only two choices: a large, public school (the Georgia Institute of Technology) in theheart of a large city (Atlanta) or a small, private school (Mercer) in a much smaller town(Macon). The clear choice for many students (African-Americans and women included)is Mercer, irrespective of non-existent recruiting
