Missouri PLTW State Conference Lunch General Session II Friday, October 26, 2012 12:30pm-1:20pm St. Louis, Missouri
The “New” American Dilemma The relative absence of African Americans, American Indians, and Latinos in STEM study and careers, and the requirement to reverse this situation to better compete globally, is what we refer to as the “New” American Dilemma. 4
What Is NACME? Our MissionTo ensure American competitiveness in a flat world by leading and supporting the national effort to expand U.S. capability through increasing the number of successful African American, American Indian, and Latino women and men in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and careers. Our VisionAn engineering workforce that looks like America. Our GoalWorking with our partners to produce an engineering graduating class that looks like America. Our Purpose Our aim is to increase the proportion of African American, American Indian, and Latino graduates in STEM education and careers, our metric is parity in the workforce, and our methodology is connecting the network of like-minded individuals and organizations that share a commitment to these aims. Our Beliefs We believe in the concept of the “learning organization,” a community in which each member is encouraged and assisted to grow and develop. We support a NACME culture that is informed by our mission. We focus on the results—increasing the proportion of African American, American Indian and Latino graduates in STEM education and careers. We are active, optimistic and engaged. We are creative, innovative and disciplined in our approach. We strive to be effective team members who are committed to doing our best work and to delivering the best results for our partners along the continuum from middle school to workforce entry. 5
