The total engineering enterprise has an unparalleled role in our nation's long held precepts of the citizenry's "unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Whether we translate those words into the current terms of security, defense, health care, wealth production, entertainment, or others, the foundation of that enterprise is its engineering educational system. That system provides the world with the creative talents of emerging professionals who will drive the economic engine, the betterment of society and enrich the human condition in the decades ahead.
