Chris Lesesne, 26, attended Morehouse College before receiving a master’s in aeronautical engineering from George Washington University. Now an aerospace engineer for GE Aviation, he says, “There are the rare occasions when you question whether or not you feel included in a field/organization dominated by White males,” he said, adding that it is important colleagues see him “as an engineer first.”
Morehouse does not have an engineering program; students who want to study engineering can choose to participate in a cooperative program that allows them to complete their engineering program at a partnering engineering school.
