Top Supporters of HBCU Engineering Programs to be Announced During Live Webinar

BALTIMORE - April 1, 2015 - PRLog -- The Top Supporters of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Engineering Schools will be announced Tuesday, April 7, 2015 during a live webinar that will address the value of HBCU engineering schools to the nation’s technology workforce, as well as the methodology used to conduct the survey.

This is the thirteenth year US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine has conducted the Top Supporters survey. The survey recognizes the employers and agencies that have gone above and beyond in their support of Presidential Executive Orders dating back to Jimmy Carter, which established a federal program “to overcome the effects of discriminatory treatment and to strengthen and expand the capacity of historically black colleges and universities to provide quality education.”

Participants in the Top Supporters survey are the deans of the 15 ABET-accredited HBCU engineering schools, and the Board of Directors of Advancing Minorities’ Interest in Engineering (AMIE).

Commenting on the survey, Tyrone D. Taborn, publisher of US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine said, “Doing this for the thirteenth time, we are consistently finding many organizations that are doing more than their share in building the STEM pipeline.”

AMIE Chairman Darryl Stokes says, “Supporting HBCUs is essential to the development of our nation’s potential. America’s HBCUs have produced many leaders across all professions, and continue to be an engine of economic growth, both in the surrounding communities and for the graduates of the institutions.”
