In this issue of the Educator's Corner I would like to share two hardhitting articles addressing the disparity in recruiting new U.S. scientific/engineering talent and two programs helping to alleviate this problem. The first article written by Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D., a theoretical physicist and president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, cuts right to the heart of the matter. Dr. Jackson's article, "The Quiet Crisis: America's Economic and National Security at Risk - Falling Short in Producing American Scientific and Technical Talent," can be found at . Dr. Jackson echoes the fears of many when she writes about the shortfall (gap) in our national scientific and technical capabilities due to the U.S. inability to graduate sufficient numbers of scientific and technical professionals. The following quote from Dr. Jackson's article infers a major consequence of ignoring this problem:
