Confronting A New Dilemma: Minorities in Engineering
More than six decades after the landmark study: An American Dilemma,
research from the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering reveals
where the United States still struggles with a dilemma of race and opportunity.
The report, “Confronting the ‘New’ American Dilemma, Underrepresented Minorities
in Engineering: A Look at Diversity,” finds that a vast pool of minority
students aren’t prepared for STEM fields, at a time when pursuit of
careers in science and technology is a major indicator of the nation’s ability
to be competitive and economically strong.

Women's History Month: Nathelyne Archie Kennedy
Nathelyne Archie Kennedy has six words to describe her 50-year long career: “Don’t be afraid to venture out.” Kennedy risked majoring in engineering in 1950s Texas, when it was a safe bet to teach. As a new college graduate in 1959, when offers weren’t coming in as quickly as she had expected, Kennedy ventured beyond her immediate boundary in Texas and moved to Chicago, where she landed her first job. Two decades on, while most women-of-color entrepreneurs were still starting small retail businesses, she became the face of a new, growth business in the early 1980s.

Black technology entrepreneurs are increasingly providing the horsepower that drives the global economy. Over the last two decades, black entrepreneurs have created more jobs, and contributed much more to the economic expansion of the Black community as a whole, than any black pastor or politician. Black entrepreneurs are taking risks and building businesses that generate economic growth and increase prosperity in underserved areas, as more minority-owned and minority-focused businesses emerge, willing to serve the financial needs of Black entrepreneurs. US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine's annual list of Top Black Technology Entrepreneurs reflects the expanding scope of leading Black entrepreneurs in information technology, homeland security, and defense.
