Aerospace Engineering Pipeline Constricted Aerospace industry faces shortage of engineers– Feb 2004: 50-year low in aerospace employment– Now increasing, but talent pipeline is not sufficient
Aerospace science and engineering positions– 9% of funded positions going unfilled– 27% eligible for retirement by 2008– Lack of qualified candidates
Collaboration again required to solve the problem– Government, industry and universities must work

Aerospace Economy in Southern California Manufacturing employment in So. Calif. ~ 1,000,000
Aerospace employment in So. Calif. ~ 200,000
Business areas with highest 2004 growth rates in Southern California– Aerospace– International Trade– Tourism

Why Space Grant
Do we care? YES!
Supports pipeline for industry and NASA internships and career hires from 500+ universities
NGST focus schools include Air Force Academy, Cal Poly-SLO, CalTech, Hawaii, Michigan, MIT, NMSU, Purdue, Stanford, USC, UCSD and others
Areas include cubesats, small sats, rocketry and related student projects and activities
Futures: James Webb Space Telescope, Vision for Space Exploration, Transformational Space, etc.
Conclusion
Education collaboration required for success– Global environment is rapidly changing– U.S. government investment support is critical– Industry:university:government collaboration required
Engineering education and university research – Focus on basic and emerging engineering needs– University research is new technology’s forcing function
Engineering education is the key component-Enables innovation which in turn drives U.S. economy
