program which conducted this study.Background InformationOver the last decade, there has been a major shift in the economic base of eastern NorthCarolina. For generations, the regional economy was driven by agriculture and in particular bytextile and tobacco production. In recent years, this economy has made a major transition to amanufacturing, military, and government / service based economy. The region’s ability tomaintain this momentum and continue to grow technology driven businesses is, in large part,dependent on attracting and retaining engineering expertise. However, local, national and globalfirms often have difficulty attracting and retaining engineers in a region that is primarilycomprised of rural towns and small cities. The ability
