Abstract
US President Carter "increasingly concerned," directs NSF and the Department of Education to report on this question by July 1 1980. The study has been ordered partly because American industry is faced with a shortage of engineers, especially engineers trained in computer-augmented design and manufacturing techniques. Also, with most new engineering graduates finding attractive jobs in industry upon receiving their bachelor??s degree the engineering schools are discovering that to recruit enough graduate students and ju nior faculty they must look increasingly to foreign-born nationals.
