Abstract

Abstract:The underrepresentation of Black men in engineering graduate programs contributes to the low numbers of Black faculty members, and in general, role models who could teach and inspire future generations of students in STEM. Addressing this national concern requires stakeholders to identify prevailing obstacles such as racial microaggressions, and where they occur.This article focuses on the advisor-advisee relationship and its effects on students’ persistence. By addressing practices and activities that turn students away from sustained participation in engineering, we may be able to increase the number of Blacks males who enroll, remain in, and graduate from engineering programs.

工程研究生教育中的黑人男性:在导师与受导师关系中经历种族微侵犯

摘要:黑人男性在工程研究生项目中的代表性不足，导致黑人教师数量少，总的来说，他们是可以在STEM领域教授和激励下一代学生的榜样。要解决这一全国性的问题，利益攸关方需要确定普遍存在的障碍，如种族微侵犯，以及它们发生的地方。本文的重点是导师与被导师的关系及其对学生坚持的影响。通过解决使学生远离工程专业的实践和活动，我们可能能够增加注册、留在工程专业并从工程专业毕业的黑人男性人数。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
