This is of significant global importancesince the rest of the world is producing engineers at much higher rates. In Europe and Asia, a fargreater percentage of university students are enrolled in engineering education. That maypartially explain why so many manufacturing jobs are moving overseas.What is the cause of this low level of interest in engineering in the United States?
