Message from the DirectorDear Industry Partners, Educators and State Supporters,

I want to express my excitement about being part of such a unique organization, with such an important mission. Having come from industry and with a background in both engineering and business management, I appreciate the value of each financial and time contribution. Supporting TETC is more than “just the right thing to do” for Texas and our nation. I want TETC to make a difference to your business, the engineering educational system and our state and national competitiveness.

Supporting the advancement of our states educational capacity is fundamental to the TETC mission. I want to work closely with our state institutions to help make the TETC challenge an opportunity for their success. The following slides define the growing challenge to our educational system. I hope that you will find them as compelling as I do.

In the upcoming Executive and Advisory Committee meetings, I will have an opportunity to provide a more comprehensive briefing of my plan for TETC in FY05 and FY06. I look forward to you inputs and to meeting you in the very near future.

Your Advocate,

Mark McClure

The Engineer Shortage is a National Problem

“The number of US engineering graduates peaked in 1985 and is presently down 20 percent from that level; the percentage of US undergraduates taking engineering is the second lowest of all developed countries.  China graduates approximately three times as many engineering students as the United States.

National Intelligence Council Mapping the Global Future – December 2004

Page 11: Spring Update 2005

Conclusions

• A net demand of 8,760 engineers will be needed in Texas over the next 3 years

• All states are facing a similar shortage driven by growth and

demographics

• U.S. demographics suggest that after 2008 the needs for replacement engineers will dramatically accelerate
