Apprehension

―…people today are raising

all kinds of alarms about

technology…’It's been

going on as long as

innovation has been going

on,’ says Clinton Andrews, past president of the Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers Society on Social Implications

of Technology.‖

– USA TODAY 6/21/2005

Asia's college-age cohort is

far larger than those of the

EU and the United States. To

illustrate: the combined total of only

three Asian countries—China,

India, and Japan—is projected to be five times as large as the

combined EU and U.S. total

from 2000 to 2020

Competition

The saturation of technology in most fields means that ALL STUDENTS

- not just those who plan to pursue a

Science and Technology profession -will require a solid foundation

in Science and Technology to

be productive members of the

workforce.
