About the Book

A Unique Tool to Advance Diversity Outcomes in Engineering Education
Expanding the nation's engineering talent pool is critical to U.S. economic competitiveness, and diversity is vital to engineering innovation. But many U.S. institutions of higher education are struggling in these efforts. Only 35,421 of the 112,721 engineering bachelor's degree recipients in this country in the 2015-16 academic year were African American/Black, Latino, Native American or female. And the percentage of those students among U.S. engineering graduates has been flat or declining for more than a decade.
The NSBE Student Retention Toolkit published by the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), was developed to address this problem by helping U.S. colleges and universities change the equation for engineering diversity within their institutions.
The NSBE Student Retention Toolkit provides research-based strategy briefs, each nine pages or fewer, that present proven strategies for improving student retention and student success in engineering degree programs.
The briefs include clear action steps for the readers as well as guidance in avoiding pitfalls. Each strategy is grounded in examples of campus programs that have raised success rates for underrepresented minorities, women and first-generation college-goers.
The Student Retention Toolkit is part of NSBE's broader effort to dramatically increase the number of underrepresented minority and women engineers in the U.S. over the next eight years, both separately and in collaboration with the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) in the 50K Coalition.
