In 1984, he left his position as chairman and pro- fessor at Howard University’s Department of Electrical Engineering to become dean of engineering at Morgan State. He saw a real need to get more minorities and women involved in mathematics and electrical engi- neering.
Dr. DeLoatch shared his idea for addressing this
need with USBE&IT publisher Tyrone Taborn at lunch one day in 1984, and as a result, the Black Engineer of the Year Awards Conference was launched in 1986, with Morgan State University as its sponsor.
Dr. DeLoatch earned his Ph.D. in bioengineering at Polytechnic in 1972. He has authored numerous pa- pers, led research projects, and served on many boards of directors during his distinguished career. In June 2002, he was named president of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), becoming the first African American to hold the position. He also serves as chairman of the Council of Engineering Deans of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
