2013 NACME Data Book
Deck 3: Enrollment and Persistence in Engineering
Overview/Purpose
•
The slides in this deck provide data on college enrollment and persistence patterns, and specifically examine these
patterns for engineering undergraduate and graduate schools.
•
Many slides have two versions: one with and one without data labels. The graphics are “cleaner” without the labels,
yet there are some audiences for which such labeling might be important.
•
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 in most data sources includes people of all racial backgrounds who indicated
that they were “Hispanic.” “Non-Latino White” refers to people who did not indicate a Latino background and did
indicate “White” as a racial category.
