Worried about the state of US engineering?

Here is the session for at ESC San Jose:

Engineering Humanity Panel
Thursday, April 610:00am - 11:00am
Moderated by Brian Fuller, Editor-in-Chief, EE Times

It's under most Americans' radar, but technical education has become a silent crisis in America. The future of the nation's innovative culture is under stress as countries such as India and China graduate two to three times as many engineers. EE Times Editor-in-Chief Brian Fuller brings together a panel of educators and business leaders to frame the problem and offer solutions.

Seems like CMP editors are undecided about the situation. See Jim Turley's counterpoint here.
