Increasing the number of engineers will first require increasing the numberof engineering students, and one way to do that is to “tap into the pool of students pursuingengineering science studies at community colleges, who could then transfer to four-yearinstitutions, where they could pursue baccalaureate or advanced degrees”2.

These steps are distilled fromthe ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) who judges the quality of auniversity’s degree program (key words are underlined): Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic science and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis
