ROCAME (Region "O" Council for the Advancement of Minorities in Engineering) New Hanover County Coordinator: Frederick L. Cooper Representatives from industry and education organized ROCAME in 1979. Its purpose is to establish a sound foundation for a viable and accountable program to encourage minority youths to enter the fields of engineering, math, science and technology. The organization exists in middle and high schools throughout the area. Scholarships are offered to seniors who plan to major in engineering, math, science or technology and are members of ROCAME. Engineers from General Electric, Corning, International Paper, UNC-W and the Corps of Engineers plan the competition and serve as volunteers in judging the events. ROCAME has made a positive impact on the lives of many minority students. Area industry and educational leaders established the ROCAME program in 1979 to encourage minority students in grades 6-12 to pursue careers in math, science, engineering, and technology. Each year the ROCAME program provides over 1000 minority youth in the region with opportunities to visit colleges and universities, tour area industry, improve academics through peer tutoring and mentoring, obtain leadership skills, and participate in community service projects. Annually, ROCAME awards two scholarships to program participants who pursue higher education toward attaining a degree in math, science, engineering or technology. The organization’s major project is the annual ROCAME Jamboree. This event provides hands on engineering related competition for students in the region.
