Q: (Initially posted May 12, 2004) FROM STUDENT MEMBER RACHEL V. IN NJ
What do you think will be the area of engineering that will have the largest shortage of engineers in 6 years?

May 13, 2004
A: FROM MENTOR DEBORAH GRUBBE IN DE
Good question! All areas of engineering will have a shortage in 6 years.
Technology is exploding, the bulk of the engineers are retiring, and there
are fewer students entering engineering schools now than before. If you asked
me to pick one, I would choose electrical/computer or biomedical engineering.
However, that is only one educated guess!
