This qualitative study explores the inclusion/exclusion experiences of 20 African American engineering-degreed professional men and women of varying age and experience functioning in an engineering or engineering-related capacity and employed in a semiconductor industry corporation in Arizona. A competent science and engineering workforce must be sustained for the U.S. to maintain standing as an economic and technological powerhouse. Yet, dramatic change in the U.S. workforce ethnicity renders this talent pool in short supply against projected demand. The professional science and engineering workforce, particularly the semiconductor industry, must mirror overall demographics if these professions are to continue to attract the best and the brightest talent available. Despite this apparent need, qualified African American professionals remain underrepresented. Previous works on fairness and inclusion in high-tech organizations and how nonmainstream employees sense exclusion informed the study. Utilizing three-stage, in-depth interviews and an iterative process to identify patterns and themes, the study assesses and offers a taxonomy of participants' inclusion/exclusion and tolerance/intolerance experiences. Idealist/warriors willingly endure, for now, matters of race as systemic within the engineering culture, while trailblazing inroads for greater inclusion. Realist/conformists willingly acknowledge that race does matter but are not threatened by this notion, and are therefore amenable to the status quo engineering culture. Opportunist/explorers reluctantly endure matters of race as systemic within the engineering culture, while searching for a more receptive work environment elsewhere. The disenfranchised/overlooked reluctantly acknowledge that race does matter, are threatened by this notion, and thus feel disregarded and devalued by most.
