Abstract
A panel presentation on the state and progress of engineering workforce development in San Diego County. Like many other high-tech communities in the U.S., the San Diego County area faces a challenge in attracting an engineering/technology-trained workforce. A coalition of local industry and schools has formed to address this problem by promoting and supporting a pre-engineering program for middle and high schools. Topics will include: what can be done to better prepare our students for engineering and technology careers and how business can contribute and take the lead in this endeavor
