, engineering appears less and less attractive as a career path for manyqualified students.The new face of job insecurityA few decades ago, during the years of major defense system spending in the UnitedStates, the aerospace industry was characterized as an unstable job market for engineers.Major aerospace companies would compete for very large government contracts, andwould build up technical staffs to prepare preliminary designs and to show readiness tocarry out the work if selected as the prime contractor. Once a purchase decision wasmade by the procurement agency, the losing bidders would quickly shed the employeesinvolved in preparing the losing bid. But the winning bidder, needing to staff up to carryout the contract, generally provided

materialselection be accorded priority and more attention in engineering technology and SMETcurricula and education.1. IntroductionOne of the current trends in the industry is the focus on “costs” as one of the dominantdesign factors or criteria (1)(2)(3). Materials costs account for majority of the developmentand production costs; it is not uncommon for materials costs to account for more thanfifty percent of development and production costs. Materials costs is typically about 50%in the ship building industry, and about 60% in the aerospace industry, and 70% in theautomotive industry (2)(3)(4)(5). The implication of this is that materials selection is criticalin any design or production process. Incorrect materials selection can result in
