U.S. Engineering in a Global Economy brings clarity to issues of supply and demand in this important market. Following a general overview of engineering-labor market trends, the volume examines the educational pathways of undergraduate engineers and their entry into the labor market, the impact of engineers working in firms on productivity and innovation, and different dimensions of the changing engineering labor market, from licensing to changes in demand and guest worker programs. The volume provides insights on engineering education, practice, and careers that can inform educational institutions, funding agencies, and policy makers about the challenges facing the United States in developing its engineering workforce in the global economy. 0aEngineersxEmploymentzUnited States.1 aFreeman, Richard B. q(Richard Barry), d1943- eeditor9253471 aSalzman, Hal  eeditor926884 0aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report 926883  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  00102lcc40708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2022-10-03l0oTA 157 U84 2018p00000164735r2022-10-03 00:00:00t1w2022-10-03yBK
