The U.S. met its domestic energy requirements without foreign sources. By theearly 1960’s, consumption began surpassing production. In recent decades, increased use ofautomobiles, higher levels of industrial production, and greater amounts

Firmslike Anderson Consulting have become hot new work place for engineering grads. According toa 1998 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 9.7 percent of offersmade to students with technical majors came from consulting service firms, more than any otherfield. These firms are looking for people who combine technological know how with businessacumen and communication skills. In the business world, the multi-talented have a clearadvantage.Bibliography1.
