Advances in science and engineering have brought the world to a place where distance no longer matters. In such a world it is necessary to ask how well Americans are being equipped to compete for business and jobs. It was to answer this question that the U.S. National Academies issued its 2005 'Gathering Storm' study report. The report warned that America's competitive edge would have to be its ability to innovate through cutting-edge research, create new products and services, and undertake extraordinary entrepreneurship. Among other recommendations, it called for producing 10,000 fully qualified math and science teachers every year and doubling the investment in basic research. Although the Obama administration has initiated a major increase in funding for research and research facilities, the challenge will be to sustain this increase for 15-20 years of more. KEY CONCEPTS: R&D, competitiveness, science and engineering, education., The ability to compete in our newly evolved world is closely tied to a nation's prowess in science and engineering. Scientists and engineers comprise only 4 percent of America's workforce [...]

OVERVIEW: As the 76 million baby boomers, who represent 28 percent of the U.S. working population, begin retiring, organizations face a knowledge and capability crisis. The experience, knowledge, skills, and networks--the 'deep smarts'--of these technical professionals and managers will walk out the door with them. Executives and managers can proactively develop and use decision-support processes to model me areas in their organizations where the knowledge and capability shortages will be severe, and take actions now to mitigate the potential tremendous loss of knowledge. KEY CONCEPTS: critical talent, retirement, decision-support simulation, knowledge loss., Industrial companies face a crisis, and many of them do not know it--yet. The crisis, which these companies have helped to create, is that as the baby boomers retire, they [...]

Congressional plans to increase the number of foreign engineers and foreign-born engineering graduate students to solve the shortage of engineers in the country must be reconsidered. Admitting engineers from other countries would suppress salaries and further dampen the attractiveness of engineering graduate education to US-born engineers. What is needed is a national retraining program for engineers and scientists aimed at extending their working lives to age 70.
