RÉSUMÉ

This position paper presents a set of categorized and prioritized recommendations from a multi-year project focused on developing a common agenda regarding the advancement of Black Americans in engineering. Though broadening participation has been an expressed goal at the national level for decades, few would dispute the claim that not enough progress has been made as it relates to Black Americans' access to and experiences in engineering. To increase the likelihood of progress, the commitment of actors from different sectors to a common agenda will be needed. Thus, we offer this new agenda to encourage stakeholders to focus on recommendations believed to be necessary to catalyze progress in this area, calling on both researchers and practitioners alike. We developed this agenda by synthesizing literature, interviewing subject-matter experts, and completing a Delphi study to establish priorities among the wide range of possible next steps. Given the focus on research and practice, we have organized this suite of recommendations around things we need to know, document, act on, and create to achieve societal impact. The resulting agenda provides stakeholders with a backdrop for identifying problems that can be investigated empirically and with focal areas for addressing persistent barriers.
