The Wall Street Journal reports a severe national shortage of engineers as major firms race to recruit grads from Carnegie Tech and KU. With 380 to 1,000 expected job offers per graduating class, companies like Glenn L. Martin, Pratt & Whitney, Westinghouse, and Ford intensify recruitment. EMC and education stats show demand outpacing supply, and experts warn the gap could hinder defense and economic growth for years.
