When the secondauthor compared several ABET approved programs in the country, he found thatthey have fewer laboratories in their recommended academic plans than they dida few years ago. The reduction or elimination of real touch, feel and seeexperiences of laboratories havecontributed to the loss of “gut instinct”for many engineers.

it's going to leave a worse world for future generations. … now we're the tree, we're the whale.” - Justin Rosenstein in The Social Dilemma [1]The word “engineer” is derived from the Latin root word “ingenium,” which refers to “innatequalities, ability; inborn character” [2]. To engineer means to contrive or devise. Through anontological lens, every invention and technological advancement has inevitably shaped andreshaped the world. At the heart of this practice is the modern-day engineer whose role is tobridge the gap between what is and what could be. And so, engineers function as the manifestorsof the designed world. The praxis of engineering is giving birth to the seen, felt, and tangible inthe

Accordingto the Migration Policy Institute [2], more than 64% of SSA Blacks have college degrees ordegrees in STEM majors.
