2013 NACME Data Book

2013 NACME Data Book Deck 6: 40 Year Trends, 1974 to 2014

Slide Deck Overview/Presenter Notes • This deck is intended to illustrate changes in engineering trends among underrepresented minorities over the past 40 years. However, note the dates on the slides as few sources had the full range of data available. • Users should be mindful of the Y-axis scaling: the scale is relevant to the graphic and is not consistent across graphics. Additionally, white males are so numerous in engineering that graphs including this group will have far different Y-axis maxima than those showing data only for minority groups or for women. • Users who are attentive to the color scheme will notice consistent coloring of variables across graphics (i.e. African American trends are illustrated in blue when all races are present). However, be mindful that the colors were repurposed when the variables changed. • Many slides appear repetitive: this provides variations on the theme, showing different sets of groups defined by race/ethnicity, degree level, and sex. Additionally, due to the longitudinal nature of this deck, the majority of slides are line graphs. • As with other decks, the set is not necessarily meant to be a self-contained, sequential presentation but, rather, a deck from which users may select slides for any number of presentations. The repetition, therefore, provides users with many choices to present data. • Due to rounding, not all percentages equal 100%. Additionally, users should take note of the footnotes for valuable interpretive information, as well as source attribution. • Attribution: Please indicate that the source of these slides was the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME), Department of Researchand Program Evaluation. The NACME web address is: www.nacme.org, where the slides can be accessed and downloaded. Updated slides and additional decks covering new themes will be made available on an on-going basis. • Terminology notes: URM = underrepresented minority, which includes African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and Latinos. When the term “American Indian” is used, it references “American Indians and Alaska Natives,” consistent with U.S. Census Bureau definitions. Asian/Pac. Isl. = Asian and Pacific Islanders are people of these descents who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents and do not include people of Asian origin who are in the United States predominantly for educational purposes. “Foreign” is used to refer to “temporary residents.”
