The maintenance of a high-quality technological base in the United States is dependent upon adequately funded engineering programs in American colleges and universities. At the current time, many American engineering educators feel that their academic programs are in a state of crisis with respect to adequacy of resources. A number of foundations associated with large American companies (Exxon, IBM, Amoco, and others) have provided funds designed to aid engineering education. Funded programs at the national level have been proposed in Congress. At the present time, the current level of funding is still inadequate. It will take a national technological crisis to improve this situation. KEY WORDS; engineering education, crisis, resources The maintenance of American technological leadership has a distinguished history during the past century, particularly so during the post-World War II period. Much of the impetus in the movement has been based upon the inherent strengths of American scientific and engineering education in the colleges and universities. Today, many concerned engineering and engineering technology educators feel that certain aspects of their academic programs are in a state of crisis that seriously threatens the quality of engineering-based education. Others, while not willing to use a word so strong as "crisis", readily admit their own serious concern about these same issues. A fairly extensive dialogue has built up over this situation within recent months, particularly in academically oriented periodicals such as Engineering Times a.nA Engineering Education News.
