Engineering skills and knowledge are foundational to technological
innovation and development that drive long-term economic growth and
help solve societal challenges. Therefore, to ensure national
competitiveness and quality of life it is important to understand
and to continuously adapt and improve the educational and career
pathways of engineers in the United States. To gather this
understanding it is necessary to study the people with the
engineering skills and knowledge as well as the evolving system of
institutions, policies, markets, people, and other resources that
together prepare, deploy, and replenish the nation's engineering
workforce. This report explores the characteristics and career
choices of engineering graduates, particularly those with a BS or
MS degree, who constitute the vast majority of degreed engineers,
as well as the characteristics of those with non-engineering
degrees who are employed as engineers in the United States. It
provides insight into their educational and career pathways and
related decision making, the forces that influence their decisions,
and the implications for major elements of engineering
education-to-workforce pathways. Table of Contents Front Matter
