The decrease in support of defense-related research, coupled with the realization that many U.S. technological products are no longer competitive in the global market, has sent a shock wave through research universities that train engineers. This book argues for several concrete actions on the part of universities, government, and industry to ensure the flow and relevance of technical talent to meet national social and economic goals, to maintain a position of leadership in the global economy, and to preserve and enhance the nation's engineering knowledge base.Forces shaping the US academic engineering research enterpriseEngineeringResearchUnited StatesCongressesEngineeringResearch620/.0072073National Academy of Engineering.Committee on Forces Shaping the U.S. Academic Engineering Research Enterprise.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973803603321Forces shaping the U.S. academic engineering research enterprise4368165UNINA
