The framework upon which the NGSSis based states, “Students should learn how science is used, in particular through theengineering design process, and they should come to appreciate the distinctions andrelationships between engineering, technology, and the applications of science”2.Science and engineering complement each other in many ways, but teach studentsdifferent, yet equally important, skill sets. “If the core of science is discovery, then theessence of engineering is creation”3.

The increase requested is 8.33% in engineering degrees. “By contrast,roughly 1 million engineers a year graduate from universities in India and China. This educationdisparity threatens to slow our economic recovery, stunts our long-term competitiveness, andleaves technology firms in a skills crisis.”1It is well known that about 40% of students enrolled in science, technology, engineering andmathematics leave their major after the first year.
