Purpose of the Data Book

• NACME and GEM are pleased to provide the data that follow as an authoritative understanding of the state of minority participation in engineering and science education and the workforce.

• The data derive from the Commission on Professionals in Science and Technology (www.cpst.org), a NACME contractor, based on Engineering Workforce Commission and National Science Foundation data sources.

• We have selected a sample of trends and snapshots to inform the discussions at our Engineering Collaborations conference in Houston. Please refer to them!
