The need for improved education and training

Current education of scientists and engineers needs improvement. Industry, the National Academy of Engineering, and other government bodies have long been complaining about the education and training of engineers and scientists, because of the inadequacy of their skills in:

      • written and oral communication
      • hands-on lab experience
      • mathematical modeling
      • project experience
      • integration of concepts
      • teamwork
      • multidisciplinary problem solving and design

This situation results in:

      • tremendous costs to industry as it requires lengthy on-the-job training and lost productivity and competitiveness.
      • making engineering and science graduates less employable resulting in a financial burden, including their inability to repay their student loans.
      • Industry facing a shortage of “qualified” engineers.
      • The need for corrective solutions.
