| Progress Energy a top supporter of historically black college and university engineering schools |
|
For the third year in a row, Progress Energy was identified as a top supporter of historically black college and university (HBCU) engineering schools in 2005.
Participants in the survey were deans of the 10 accredited HBCU engineering programs and the board members of the corporate-academic alliance Advancing Minorities' Interest in Engineering (AMIE) and are reported in the current issue of U.S. Black Engineering and Information Technology magazine.
The survey asked the deans to list the 10 companies they feel contribute most to their schools' institutional missions. AMIE was asked what companies were named as top supporters. Tyrone D. Taborn, the magazine's editor in chief, says that this ranking reflects the perception that the deans and AMIE share about the level of support they receive from Corporate America.
