Eugene M. DeLoatch noted with pride that Morgan State University’s School of Engineering had part- nered with Career Communications Group, Inc. in what he called “the shaping of [an] historic event.” BEYA celebrated another landmark in 2016 when it held its 30th Annual Science, Technology, Engineer- ing, and Math (STEM) Conference February 18–20.

Before assuming his position as the founding dean of Morgan State’s engineering school in July 1984, Dr. DeLoatch had a distinguished 24-year career at Howard University, culminating in service as chair of the Department of Electrical Engi- neering. During his tenure at Howard, he helped boost enrollment and graduate production while developing a reputation for attracting research and develop- ment funds. The product of a dual degree program, Dr. DeLoatch has bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and electrical engineering from Tougaloo and Lafayette Colleges. The son of a paper mill worker in Nyack, New York, he attended public schools in Piermont, New York, and returned to his native state to pursue gradu- ate studies, earning a master’s degree in electrical engineering and a doctorate in bioengineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.


Along with teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, Dr. DeLoatch has conducted sponsored research for NASA, National Science Foundation, and the National Cancer Institute. His industrial experiences include consulting and spe- cial assignments with Western Electric, IBM, and Whirlpool. In 2002 DeLoatch was elected president of the American Society for Engineering Education—the fi rst and only African American to date to hold that position in the organization’s more than 100-year history. He is the longstanding chairman of the Council of Deans of Engineering of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). At Morgan State, Dr. DeLoatch has spent the past 32 years producing a generation of engineers that use math and science to solve the world’s problems.
