University’s Middle States Accreditation Self-Study Taskforce in 1999, has led a number of research and intervention initiatives to attract and retain African American students in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and im- prove the quality of engineering education for Howard undergraduates. Dr. Fleming is the founder and director of the HUSEM (Howard University Science, Engineering, and Mathematics) program, and serves as the principal investigator and director of the National Science Foundation- funded Global Education, Awareness, and Research Undergraduate Program (GEAR-UP), which provides STEM undergraduates with research opportunities abroad as well as exposure to engineering

Historically,African American and other communities of color have not had that same access to the pre-college STEM education as White communities. Yet, members of these communities of colorhave contributed to technological innovations and STEM achievements.Underrepresentation of minority communities in STEM fields is not an accurate representation ofthe contribution of these communities to the field of engineering. In fact, there is a history ofinnovation and engineering ingenuity and display of engineering attributes in the AfricanAmerican community [4]. The historical engineering contributions of African Americans provideevidence that in the Black community, there might be common knowledge or

Over time this allows for a particularly strong sense of trust to be developedamong collaboratives, as expanded upon below. Curriculum formulation in support ofengineering education, to an ABET approved level, necessitates faculty professionaldevelopment for science, mathematics and technology instructors as well as the “rare”engineering instructor on staff at the TCU. These levels of interaction eventually strengthensindividual collaborations between academics in the program, which heightens concern for thestudents on either side of the transition process. Additional benefits also accrue to the TCUs byavoiding the most costly segment of engineering education

articulated increased the number of engineering graduates by approximately Page 25.1169.2170 percent. A more practical solution would appear to be an evaluation of increases of 10%,20%, and 40% in engineering graduates. These increases appear to be very practical from the    perspective of needs for additional graduates due to a combination of retirements of currentengineers and increased demand from expanded and new high technology industries. It waspreviously established that the additional demand for engineering graduates could be met bytaking advantage of the population of high school graduates with Math ACT scores from 17-25inclusive

In this article, persistence is defined ascontinued university enrollment (retention) while working toward completing a programor degree (Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, Retention, 2007). As noted inFigure 1, from 1966-2004 women nationally earned substantially more bachelor’sdegrees in non-S&E fields than did men. This finding has financial implications as it iswell noted that graduates of programs in the STEM fields (science, technology,engineering and math) earn higher salaries than those in non-STEM

Thus, to mandate the admission of only qualified and not qualifiable students put the burden of integration on a part of the education system that patently was not doing its job. [...] What would have happened if institutes of technology and universities, given enough support and sanctioning by employers of their engineering graduates, took over the task of remedial education? Schools could conceivably maintain sound material standards for engineering but train students over longer periods, with greater provisions for remedial instruction.
