O u r M i s s i o n To provide leadership and support for the national effort to increase the repre- sentation of successful African American, American Indian and Latino women and men in engineering and technology, math- and science-based careers. O u r V i s i o n An engineering workforce that looks like America. O u r G o a l Working with our partners to produce an engineering graduating class that looks like America. O u r P u r PO S E Our aim is diversity with equity, our metric is parity in the workforce, and our methodology is the formation of partnerships with those corporations, educational institutions, foundations, nonprofit agencies and governmental bodies that share a commitment to these aims. O u r B e l i e f s We believe in the concept of the “learning organization,” a community in which each member is encouraged and assisted to grow and develop. We believe that we must work not only to continuously improve our skills and capabilities for performing our individual responsibilities increasingly well, but also to strive to be cooperative and effective team members who are committed collectively to the fulfillment of NACME’s mission and purposes.

This past year was an extremely important one for NACME in many regards. It was a year in which we saw dramatic growth in our scholarship program, significant progress in defining our pre-engineering initiative and a rekindling of our research and policy analysis capabilities. It was also a time in which we conducted our first-ever national symposium—a gathering called to address critical issues central to America’s capacity for leadership in global science and technology.

If 2005 was the year for strategy setting, 2006 was the beginning period for implementing that strategy. In doing so we have kept at the forefront of our thinking that the most important thing we can do is focus our energies on opening the pathways to engineering for millions of underrepresented young people in this country. Our overarching vision of an engineering workforce that looks like America will result only if we and others who share that vision are able to succeed in creating an engineering graduating class that looks like America. That is the task before us and the one to which we dedicate our efforts.

Throughout its history, NACME and the nearly 20,000 students we have served have been blessed by the generosity and support of corporations, foundations, universities and countless individuals who believe in our mission. This year has been no different. We are grateful for the financial contributions as well as the time and energy that many have expended on our behalf. We trust that they will find this year’s annual report to be confirming evidence that their support has truly made a difference and that NACME is fulfilling the expectations accompanying their endorsements of our efforts.

Thank you for your interest in our programs. We are excited about the future and look forward to helping more students experience the excitement and opportunities of engineering education and careers.
