2013 NACME Data Book
Deck 5: U.S. Engineering Workforce
Overview/Purpose
• The slides in this deck provide data on the role of underrepresented minorities in the U.S.
engineering workforce. In addition, data is provided on the presence of underrepresented minorities
in academia.
• As with other decks, the set is not necessarily meant to be a self-contained, sequential presentation
but, rather, a deck from which users may select slides for any number of presentations. The
repetition, therefore, provides users with many choices to present data.
• Attribution: Please indicate that the source of these slides is the National Action Council for
Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME), Department of Research and Program Evaluation. The
NACME web address is: www.nacme.org, where the slides can be accessed and downloaded.
Updated slides and additional decks covering new themes will be made available on an on-going
basis.
• Terminology notes: URM = underrepresented minority, which includes African Americans, American
Indians and Alaska Natives, and Latinos. When the term “American Indian” is used, it references
“American Indians and Alaska Natives,” consistent with U.S. Census Bureau definitions. Asian/Pac. Isl.
= Asian and Pacific Islanders are people of these descents who are U.S. citizens and permanent
residents and do not include people of Asian origin who are in the United States predominantly for
educational purposes. “Foreign” is used to refer to “temporary residents.” Latinos can be any race:
the category generally includes people of all racial backgrounds who indicated that they were
“Hispanic.” “Non-Latino White” refers to people who did not indicate Latino background and did
indicate “White” as a racial category.
