For much of America's history, African Americans were discouraged
or aggressively prevented from becoming scientists and engineers.
Those who did enter STEM fields found that their inventions and
discoveries were often neither recognized nor valued. Even today,
particularly in the field of engineering, the participation of
African American men and women is shockingly low, and some evidence
indicates that the situation might be getting worse. In Changing
the Face of Engineering, twenty-four eminent scholars address the
under representation of African Americans in engineering from a
wide variety of disciplinary and professional perspectives while
proposing workable classroom solutions and public policy
initiatives. They combine robust statistical analyses with personal
narratives of African American engineers and STEM instructors who,
by taking evidenced-based approaches, have found success in
graduating African American engineers. Changing the Face of
Engineering argues that the continued under representation of
African Americans in engineering impairs the ability of the United
States to compete successfully in the global marketplace. This
volume will be of interest to STEM scholars and students, as well
as policy makers, corporations, and higher education institutions.
