The need for engineering leaders is being driven by the manychallenges the nation faces (e.g., see the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges2010; http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/). Technology and engineered systems can providesolutions to these challenges. To bring forth these solutions, the nation needs engineeringleaders.
