engineers do not return to graduate school or academicwork, seeing no relevance to their career path and calling into question the merit of graduateprograms. The NAE report included a recommendation that reinforces this reality: “Institutions should encourage domestic students to obtain M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.”[6]The absence of practice experienced engineers brings an unfortunate reality in depriving ouracademic and research community of an essential resource, exacting a terrible toll on America’spipeline of innovation and technology. The fallout of this evolution is that today’s research anddevelopment is conducted with a capital “R”, but a lower case “d”.
