Lag In Engineers Demand Outpaces Supply
A Department of Labor study shows about 70 000 engineering graduates are produced each year but demand runs 25 000 ahead. Over the next decade the total supply may lag demand by as much as 300 000. Only one-sixth of top high school students now enter engineering, down from one-third a decade ago, despite strong demand from space, computing, and tech fields. The NSF calls for longer programs and a master’s degree. Engineering offers rising salaries starting at 750 dollars monthly and expanding opportunities in management.
