Abstract:

One reason there are so few minorities in engineering is because they have so few role models. It is difficult for today's young minority engineer�who may feel all alone. There have been and are, however, minority engineers making unique and valuable contributions to the field and a few of them are profiled in this article. It is not a definitive list, but a representative group of different kinds of people contributing in a variety of ways. People profiled are Alfred Richardson, PE, Pacific Soils Engineering; Lilia Abraham Robinson, Ph.D., Howard University; Leroy Callender, PE, Consulting Engineer, New York; Jose Martinez, PE, University Mexico, New Mexixo, Richard Mason, PE, Gardner Engineering; and Ariel Morelli, PE, Council of Airports, New York.
