Diversity
in Engineering Education and Workforce (Forum), Nov.
16, 2003: "We must graduate new generations
of engineers who are attuned to change and nimble enough
to contribute in unexpected ways. We need engineers
working on the frontiers, constantly seeking new knowledge
and developing new processes. We also need equally capable
engineers who can creatively and carefully turn knowledge
into improved designs for society's operational underpinnings.
Diversity will be the lifeblood of our future progress
and prosperity. The differences in race, ethnicity and
gender that abound in our society are a positive force
for creativity and dynamism. The divisions hold us back
and sap our energy until we erase them." —
Joseph Bordogna, Deputy Director, U.S. National Science
Foundation, November 16, 2003, Washington, D.C. at a
Diversity in Engineering Education and Workforce Forum
to examine the current demographics of the U.S. scientific
workforce, the benefits of a diverse workforce, and
successful strategies for achieving diversity in engineering
education and industry.
