What is NACME
Our Mission
To ensure American competitiveness in a flat world by leading and supporting the national effort to
expand U.S. capability through increasing the number of successful African American, American
Indian, and Latino women and men in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
education and careers.
Our Vision
An engineering workforce that looks like America.
Our Goal
To Engineer Opportunity for Minorities in STEM
Our Purpose
Through partnerships with like-minded entities, we serve as a catalyst to increase the proportion of
African American, American Indian, and Latino women and men in STEM careers. We inspire and
encourage excellence in engineering education and career development toward achieving a
diverse and dynamic American workforce.
Our Beliefs
We believe that diversity drives innovation. We believe in the concept of the “learning
organization,” a community in which each member is encouraged and assisted to grow and
develop. We support a NACME culture that is informed by our mission. We strive to be effective
team members who are committed to doing our best work and to delivering the best results for our
partners along the continuum from middle school to workforce entry.

NACME STEM Integration Model
NACME will integrate existing program elements into a unified continuum that
leverages existing partnerships for students to move along the NACME
13 © Copyright 2013 The National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME)
The goal of the NACME STEM Integration Model is to facilitate a
comprehensive pathway of URMs to engineering careers beginning in
middle school. Our objectives include the following:
To develop regional partnerships of institutions along the NACME
Continuum
To ensure that partners are invested in the NACME brand
To evaluate each program based on expectations outlined in the
Memorandum of Understanding
To increase operational efficiency and effectiveness of linkage programs
To target funding opportunities for the integration model
To ensure evaluation is integrated across all linkage programs
The entire NACME staff was engaged in the process of developing the NACME
STEM Integration Model utilizing an NSF-based program logic model.
