"Stem Education & Workforce"--Maintaining US Competitiveness.
An ECS Technology Breakfast presented by Dr. Raman Unnikrishnan, Dean of Engineering and Computer Science.
Globalization and outsourcing have triggered fears about the non-competitiveness of the technical talent pool in the US. National media is abuzz with discussions about the lack of participation by American students in the so-called STEM fields. Not a week goes by without some organization or government agency coming up with yet another support program or another definitive report on the subject. How does societies with meager resources and limited opportunities for their youth produce world class engineers in abundance? The presentation will cover these issues from the perspective of an engineering dean who is active in professional education in the US and engineering accreditation around the globe.
