A New Generation of Engineering Schools

The national skills gap is well documented in the mainstream media and a top priority for policymakers and CEOs alike. Our system of higher education produces only one STEM graduate for every 2.5 job openings. The numbers are even worse for women, who earn just 18% of computer science degrees. While there are over 5 million STEM job postings each year, fewer engineering degrees are awarded today than in the early 1980s.
