Description

African Americans have faced considerable obstacles in pursuing careers in engineering in the United States. In this book, David Wharton has constructed a history of black efforts to advance in this field from emancipation to the present. Utilising contemporary correspondence and documents, he shows the range of responses from educators and politicians on both sides of the controversy and examines in detail how institutions and individuals responsible for the racial and education climate have dealt with the issue. This book should be of interest to students of American race relations, higher education, and the history of engineering education.

Author Biography:

DAVID E. WHARTON is a native of Washington, D.C. and a product of that city's public school system. Most recently, he served as Director of a minority engineering program, Project Interlock, in the Boston area for five years. The students selected for his program came from the Greater Boston inner city schools and the success rate was comparable to that of main line programs. Much of his writing is the result of his frustration with those who refuse to see the value in programs such as this. Wharton now resides in Florida and continues to write on educational themes.
