he National Action Council for Minori- ties in Engineering, Inc. (NACME)


congratulates James Wynn III who was named as one of the New Faces in Engi- neering and was honored at Engineers Week. Mr. Wynn lll, was a NACME Scholar and a 2005 graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. “We at NACME are incredibly proud that James has been selected as one of the New Faces of Engineering,” said NACME President and Chief Executive Officer Ir- ving Pressley McPhail, Ed. D. “He is a shining example of what the NACME Scholars Program is all about. James is not only a gifted engineer who is making important contributions to GE Aviation but he is also committed to mentoring fu- ture engineers through his work in local


high schools in Cincinnati.” Each year, the National Engineers


Week Foundation, a coalition of engineer- ing societies, major corporations and gov- ernment agencies nominates colleagues 30-years old and younger for consider- ation as one of the New Faces of Engi- neering. The class of 2011 reflects many of the most pressing issues that engineers are working on including energy resourc- es, infrastructure renewal, technological advancement and national security. NACME is responsible for more than $4 million in scholarships awarded annu- ally to underrepresented minority stu- dents. The NACME Scholars Program provides block grants to colleges and uni- versities that, in turn, provide funds to tal- ented African American, American Indian


and Latino students enrolling in engineer- ing curriculum. The goals of the program are to:


„ Provide financial support to mino- rity engineering students who have demonstrated financial need.


„ Leverage NACME’s partnerships with academic institutions to increase the retention-to-graduation rate of all minority engineering students enrolled at those schools.


„ Increase the capacity and capability of academic partner institutions to recru- it, admit, retain, educate, and graduate minority engineering students.
