This is a case study of an historical African American engineer. "Ozzie Williams received a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering. O.S. (Ozzie) Williams was the first Black Aeronautical Engineer to be hired by Republic Aviation, Inc. during World War II. Within four years he was promoted to Senior Aerodynamicist. After the war he joined Greer Hydraulics, Inc. where he became the group project engineer from 1956 to 1962. At Greer Hydraulics he helped develop the first airborne radar beacon, useful for locating crashed aircraft. As a trained designer of small rocket engine design, Williams was also associated with the Reaction Motors Division of Thiokol Chemical Corporation from 1962 to present. In 1961 he joined Grumman International, where he was in charge of developing and producing rocket control systems as a Rocket Propulsion Engineer. These control systems were used in guiding lunar landing modules during NASA's Apollo moon landings. Wilkins responsibility included administering nearly forty million dollars in subcontracts.

Profiled here are African American men and women who have contributed to the advancement of science and engineering. The accomplishments of the past and present can serve as pathfinders to present and future engineers and scientists. African American chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have contributed in both large and small ways that can be overlooked when chronicling the history of science. By describing the scientific history of selected African American men and women we can see how the efforts of individuals have advanced human understanding in the world around us.

NACME: Collaborating for Diversity. "Since 1974, NACME (National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering) has provided leadership and support for the national effort to increase the representation of successful African American, American Indian and Latino women and men in engineering and technology, math- and science-based careers." Its mission is "to provide leadership and support for the national effort to increase the representation of successful African American, American Indian and Latino women and men in engineering and technology, math- and science-based careers." NACME's "goal is diversity with equity, our metric is parity in the workforce and our methodology is the formation of partnerships with those corporations, educational institutions, foundations and governmental bodies that share a commitment to these aims. NACME and its partners will foster research-based changes in policies and practices that ensure equal opportunities for the preparation and participation of all Americans in science, engineering and technology."   less
