. Employment growth willbe driven by increasing demand for healthcare and social assistance because of an agingpopulation and longer life expectancies. Employment in administrative support and wastemanagement and remediation services is projected to grow by 31 percent and add 2.5million new jobs to the economy by 2014. Service industries have accounted for almostall U.S. job growth since the 1960’s. Wages in the service sector overall have risen fasterthan wages in most other sectors.The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the most complete information concerning IE and IETemployment. Analysis of their data is somewhat limited due to the lack of informationabout job titles or degree types. Another gap in the data concerns the other job titles thatIEs and

Kandpal and Garg (1999) noted that while in the past an abundance of cheap energycaused society to view energy simply as a commodity and not worthy of its own educationaldiscipline, contemporary global issues beginning with the 1973 oil crisis and continuing withincreasing evidence for climate change have produced a need for the development of curriculafor energy education.

presented the URF concept.There was initial resistance and opposition to the proposal. Some faculty and administrators,questioning the reason for a URF, objected to the proposal. Their concerns were focused in twoareas: (1) without the protection of the sovereign immunity afforded to State entities the URFwould be exposed to additional liability, and (2) the financial base from which the URF wouldoperate was uncertain. Within one year the majority of issues raised by the campus communitywere discussed and a consensus favoring establishment of the URF was achieved. A proposalfor the URF was presented to the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) by the Vice Provost forResearch and Sponsored Programs. The Office of the General Council of the TBR was

alternative majors.” The decision to switch was rooted in the students’ “concern aboutthe future,” as well as “structural or cultural” sources within the institution, and not solely theacademic rigors of the science and engineering majors. Furthermore, students who stayed andthose who switched out raised the same set of concerns about majoring in science andengineering.This overview gives a glimpse into the substantive corpus related to issues of persistence inengineering. For the most part, these studies rely on either cross-sectional data or longitudinaldata from national databases not necessarily targeted at engineering students. As Brainard’sfindings suggest, there is a need to conduct longitudinal research with engineering students inorder to
