U.S. GDP is attributable to advancements in science and technology. This despite the fact that less than 5 percent of the U.S. workforce is composed of scientists and engineers, thereby suggesting that each one percent of the workforce engaged in those professions accounts for something like 15 percent of the growth in GDP. A truly remarkable multiplier.” - Norm Augustine (Augustine, 2013)In Spring 2015 a workshop was held at the National Academy of Engineering designed to buildcapacity for the engineering education research community to better communicate with a broadspectrum of policy makers. The underlying hypothesis is that despite the impact how engineersare educated has on national priorities, researchers in
