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.
