US Black Engineer magazine salutes the
2015 top supporters of historically Black
college and university (HBCU) engineering.
Getting ranked in USBE’s 13th annual survey
is recognition for a job well done.
Employers come from the aerospace and aircraft
manufacturing industries, weapons and military
and commercial electronics, consumer goods,
and high-technology products in areas including
HVAC, fuel cells, elevators and escalators, fire and
security, and building systems, among others.
No doubt about it, top supporters of HBCU
engineering programs really do embrace diversity
and value the unique talents, ideas and experiences
of their employees.
On our cover is Michael F. Mahoney, CEO of a medical solutions innovator.
Boston Scientific Corporation products and technologies are used to
diagnose or treat medical conditions, and they continue to innovate and extend
innovations into new geographies.
Last fall, Mahoney and his vice president of human resources in Interventional
Cardiology, Camille Chang Gilmore, met the HBCU engineering deans.
Together they stood up a new Advancing Minorities’ Interest in Engineering
(AMIE) partnership that will facilitate recruitment of student interns, and graduates.
Gilmore is also Boston Scientific’s global chief diversity officer.
AMIE’s purpose is to expand alliances to implement and support programs
to attract, educate, graduate and place minority students in engineering careers.
The data contained in US Black Engineer’s 2015 Top Supporters Survey
is provided by the engineering programs at HBCUs and the AMIE corporate
academic alliance. The survey was conducted from August to December 2014.
While reporting their support from industry, government and nonprofits,
the HBCU deans consider the following factors, infrastructure modernization
and enhancement, research, participation on advisory councils, faculty development
opportunities, scholarships, student projects, stipends, co-op, and career
opportunities over the past year.
The 2015 list was announced on a live webinar by engineering deans
from two of the largest HBCU Engineering Colleges: Dr Robin Coger of
North Carolina A&T University and Dr. Kendall Harris of Prairie View A&M.
The top supporters of historically Black College and University (HBCU)
engineering schools come from over 100 corporate, academic and
governmental organizations.
