Engineering Shortage: What do you think?
June 11, 2007
I have received so many Letters to the Editor stemming from the May issue's Viewpoint, Engineer Shortage: Employers to Blame? that we are moving the discussion to this blog. CSE will publish one letter in its June issue, which is already off to press, and several more exchanges in July, which I'll link to in the future.
Meanwhile, I invite you to post your perspectives on why there is a shortage of engineers for buildings and what can be done about it. Is the problem K-12 education? Universities? Employers? Societal? Will higher salaries solve the problem? Recruiting more women and minorities?
Some of you may even think there is no shortage and want to weigh in, too.
If you care to read more, below are some other online articles providing more information and perspectives on the issue.
Thank you, and best of luck.
