We must also increase the global competitiveness of America s scientific and engineering infrastructure. Congress and the Administration can take steps to restore America s world leadership in science and technology by investing more in research programs and scientific infrastructure, and we must move quickly and aggressively to improve the capabilities of our science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce. A National Science Foundation (NSF) study found that 73% of the scientific papers cited in commercial patents were funded by taxpayers through the federal government, especially through university research operations. 1 Key Reports and On-Line Resources The Science-Engineering-Technology Working Group (SETWG) has sponsored the annual STEM on the Hill Congressional Visits Day Program since See Science & Engineering Indicators 2016, published by the National Science Board, provides a broad base of quantitative information on the U.S. and international science and engineering enterprise.

5 NACME was founded by a group of prescient corporate executives who understood that the lack of diversity in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields imperiled business growth and threatened to suppress our nation s competitive edge. Research shows that diversity leads to better decision-making (Levine and Stark, 2015), more innovation (Center for Talent Innovation, 2013) and better outcomes for businesses (Deloitte, 2012). This is important because the U.S. population is becoming more diverse each year. By 2050, underrepresented minorities (URMs) will represent more than 40 percent of the population, and there will be no majority race.

6 Focus on Diversity & Gender in Engineering The Demand for qualified STEM professionals is high, but the supply of STEM workers to fill these positions is at risk if underrepresented groups are not engaged in these fields. NACME offers several strategies to support the development of URM talent in the engineering field. NACME has provided over $142 million in support to over 24,000 URM engineering students in our history. Through our new NACME Career Center, we provide our scholars with exposure to our corporate supporters, for potential internship opportunities that can help them gain valuable experience in the field. Support from business leaders, who want to ensure an engineering workforce that looks like America, makes NACME programs possible.
