Engineering skills and knowledge are foundational to technological innovation and development that drive long-term economic growth and help solve societal challenges. Therefore, to ensure national competitiveness and quality of life it is important to understand and to continuously adapt and improve the educational and career pathways of engineers in the United States. To gather this understanding it is necessary to study the people with the engineering skills and knowledge as well as the evolving system of institutions, policies, markets, people, and other resources that together prepare, deploy, and replenish the nation's engineering workforce. This report explores the characteristics and career choices of engineering graduates, particularly those with a BS or MS degree, who constitute the vast majority of degreed engineers, as well as the characteristics of those with non-engineering degrees who are employed as engineers in the United States. It provides insight into their educational and career pathways and related decision making, the forces that influence their decisions, and the implications for major elements of engineering education-to-workforce pathways.

First published in 1995. The International Federation for the Heat Treatment of Materials was founded in 1971. The name was modified in 1986 to International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering, but the acronym IFHT was retained. The objective of IFHT is to serve as the premier organisation for facilitating and promoting the international exchange of information in the science and technology of heat treatment and surface engineering. Its particular strength is its effectiveness as a forum uniting science and industry. Surface Engineering is now accepted as a discipline in its own right. This work strives to be more than a mere collection of definitions. Wherever possible the guide expands to provide greater technical detail and, where appropriate, cited further references and application examples. It is hoped that the book will serve as an informative quick reference guide that will prove valuable to the expert and non-expert alike.
