As a result, she was able to view thefindings of both investigations from a new perspective with more clarity than the authors whohad been engaged with data analysis for a long time. She leveraged this perspective to helpsynthesize the findings of both studies, pinpointing and articulating commonalities and distinctdifferences in the results.

country’s ability to develop competitive quantitiesof engineers, equipped to tackle the complex challenges of the future, has come under question.These challenges are wicked and unknown and will force engineers to use collaborate and usetechnical skills to solve social problems. With this in mind, the National Academies ofEngineering launched the Engineer of 2020 project and charged its Committee on EngineeringEducation to develop a vision for engineering in 2020 and beyond. The Engineer of 2020 will becharacterized by 10 attributes.
