The National Academies will present "Workshop on the Offshoring of Engineering: Facts, Myths, Unknowns, and Implications," Oct. 24-25, in Washington, D.C.
The recent large-scale shift of engineering and other high-skill services from the U.S. to developing countries has sparked intense debate. Some see this phenomenon as a signal that U.S. technological leadership is weakening, although others claim that it is inevitable in the global economy. This workshop examines the offshoring of engineering and its implications for the U.S. economy and features presentations by industry and academic engineering leaders. The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will run from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM on Oct. 24 and from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM on Oct. 25 in the auditorium of the National Academies building in Washington, D.C.
