man direct access to university presidents, deans and stu- dents. AMIE teams with primes such as Northrop Grumman and others to expand collaboration within the academic com- munity, corporations and government to enhance the ability of underrepresented minority students who seek to engage in research and development with the ultimate goal of producing game changing technologies. The support of students from the 15 ABET accredited schools also promotes and encour- ages minority students to pursue engineering careers that provides a pipeline for recruitment, research and a diverse, educated engineering workforce.
PURDUE UNIVERSITY Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, Indiana, is the Flagship University of the six-campus Purdue University system. Purdue was founded on May 6, 1869, as a land- grant university when the Indiana General Assembly, taking advantage of the Morrill Act, accepted a donation of land and money from Lafayette businessman John Purdue to establish a college of science, technology, and agriculture in his name. The West Lafayette campus offers 200 majors for undergradu- ates, over 70 masters and doctoral programs, and professional degrees in pharmacy and veterinary medicine.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy (DOE) manages policies
regarding energy and is responsible for the U.S. nuclear weapons program, Navy nuclear reactor production, energy- related research, radioactive waste disposal, and domestic energy production. DOE also directs research of the Human Genome Project, and sponsors physical sciences research in its National Laboratories.
In 1992 and 1993 representatives of Fortune 100 corpo- rations and the Deans of Engineering from nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) participated in a conference, sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, to plan and initiate strategies and long-term solutions to increase the number of minorities in engineering. A part of the conference enabled the DOE to make a significant and long lasting contribution by establishing the DOE Chair of Excellence Professorship, now the Dr. Samuel P. Massie Chair of Excellence, with emphasis in environmen- tal disciplines at the nine HBCUs.
For more than 20 years the US DOE has shared in suc-
cess with AMIE the opportunity to advance minority educa- tion and increase diversity in the engineering discipline. Cur- rently, Dameone Ferguson represents the US DOE on AMIE’s Board of Directors.
