Your information is dead-on. I teach undergraduate and graduate students at the University of South Florida in Tampa, and I can vouch for the fact that engineering graduate degrees are almost exclusively going to students from China or India. Check any major engineering school in this nation and you will find the same thing, the vast majority of the graduate student population will be from those two countries.

Great site...Keep up the good work!

You know what, though? Labor's cheaper overseas... I wouldn't want to waste money on a tech degree, knowing I've got (maybe) 5-10 years before I'm laid off because someone in India can do the job for a quarter of my salary.

Corporate greed (expressed in hiring cheap overseas labor) can do a lot to kill ambition over here.

Hmmm. Maybe it has to do with a skills gap and an interest gap. You don't mention that the U.S. is in the top among science test scores it 4-8 grades Somewhere after interest in science fades.eacher are not aqudately trained in teaching science and how to capture students' interest the U.S. education system focuses on reading and math Maybe you should address how to get it back.

Maybe it would help if we didn't have so many people in this country trying to turn our science classes into bible study.
