, Native Americans and Alaska Natives (National Research Council, 2011) 12.A study by the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME) (2008) 13,indicates that the progress made in increasing underrepresented minority enrollment inengineering is more than offset by the lower retention rate of underrepresented minorities (39percent), when compared to that of all engineering students (63 percent). Research indicates thatover time, engineering students become academically disengaged. Data from the HERI Institute,analyzed by the author, indicates that from 1975-2010 there has been a persistent downwardtrend among all students, regardless of ethnicity, who intend to major in engineering.
