By2040, however, the under age 18 population is at 76.8 million, while the over 65 age population isat 80.8 million. The actual cross-over in population projections occurs in 2035. Figure 3 – Cross-Over of Dependent PopulationsFigure 4 – Population by Age: Projections 2020 to 2060The shift from a youth-dependent population to an elderly-dependent population has significantimplications as discussed above. The combined youth and old-age dependency, however, is evenmore revealing. Figure 5 below [1, p. 6] reflects this combined dependency on the working agepopulation.

simulation would be a fluid-structure interaction analysis whichwould require knowledge of both structural modeling using the finite element method as well asfluid modeling using computational fluid dynamics.Self-efficacy tends to be lower among adults learners when compared to traditional students dueto feelings of being unprepared in academic settings [24], [25]. Including design elements whichvalue adults’ experiences as working engineers will encourage students to make connectionsbetween their roles as learners and engineers.
