Confronting A New Dilemma: Minorities in Engineering
USBE Magazine-Apr 30, 2008----More than six decades after Swedish scholar Gunnar Myrdal’s landmark 1944 study: An American Dilemma, new research from NACME (National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering) reveals where the United States still struggles with a dilemma of race and opportunity.
The report “Confronting the ‘New’ American Dilemma, Underrepresented Minorities in Engineering: A Data-Based Look at Diversity,” finds vast pools of minority students who aren’t prepared for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, at a time when pursuit of careers in science and technology is a major indicator of the nation’s ability to be competitive and economically strong.
