Aerospace is arguably the most consistently dynamic and excitingof all technical fields some 100 years after the Wright brothers accomplished their firstcontrolled powered flight. Design proficiency is key to such evolutionary and revolutionaryadvancements.INDUSTRY CRISIS. The degree to which the nation’s current and future industry needs can besatisfied will depend on at least two factors: advances in technology and the availability ofhighly trained engineers. Government and industry leaders are concerned that the shortage oftalented scientists and engineers in the U.S. aerospace and defense complex is getting worse.Clearly, the U.S. aerospace industry is in a state of sustained pre- and post-9/11 crisis2
