In a time ofeconomic uncertainty, planning and decision-making must be based on an awareness of thelarger societal (and perhaps global) context in which they occur to ensure both the wisestallocation of scarce resources and the best preparation of students for their future careers. Highereducation and graduate education are increasingly scrutinized and pushed to demonstrate valueto the potential student (and possibly to the taxpayers who may provide funding to state-assistedpublic universities and institutions of higher education).Some of the current trends in graduate and higher education are reviewed to help graduateprograms in engineering and technology better
