Top Supporters of HBCU Engineering Programs
U
S Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine’s Top Supporters survey is currently in its 15th year. In completing
the survey, engineering deans at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) consider levels of support for infrastructure modernization and enhancement, research, participation on advisory councils, faculty development, scholarships, student projects, stipends, co-ops, and jobs. The annual ranking in the Top Supporters list reflects the perception HBCU engineering deans have of the total level of support they receive.
The organizations they name see these schools as more than a place to recruit. ABET-accredited HBCUs are constantly working to provide applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology resources that keep research on the cutting edge. Over the lifecycle of the Top Supporters Survey, we’ve seen memorable success stories. In 2002 a top supporter received the first Millionaire’s Club Award from the Defense Contract Management Agency in recognition of their placement of subcontract awards with HBCUs. The top supporter’s investments were also supplemented with other donations, such as optical logic and optical computing technology that could be used to develop faster and more powerful computers. Another top supporter contributed $6.9 million toward a $12-million donation of hardware, software, and training. It was the first Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education grant to an HBCU and the largest gift of CAD/CAM/CAE technology to a Black college. Math-based and engineering tools to another historically Black college were awarded under a $60.9-million grant comprising software, hardware, and training resources. In another university research program, an HBCU received approximately $750,000 in computer hardware and software for its research laboratories. Hiring programs focusing on underrepresented groups provide 40 to 60 percent of diverse college hires for another top supporter mentioned by HBCU deans. USBE magazine salutes top supporters that continue to show commitment to diverse talent in a rapidly changing digital world.
