A new study authored by Greg Schuckman, Assistant Vice President of University Relations and Director of Federal Relations and Research Advancement at the University of Central Florida examines the number of engineering graduates coming out of U.S. engineering schools.  The study shows differences among the states in regard their results in producing engineering graduates.

Mr. Schuckman states “Over the past 20 years, the number of students earning bachelors degrees in engineering has declined by almost 3 percent nationally.  While that statistic may not seem significant by itself, the decline comes at a time when the number of students receiving bachelors degrees overall in the United States has increased by more than 50 percent.”

Overall, twenty states increased their production of engineering graduates while 30 states and the District of Columbia decreased between 1986 and 2006.
