Abstract:

Following a brief sketch of the current market for civil engineers, this conference paper examines whether the future supply of entry-level engineers to state highway agencies will be sufficient. The focus is on the following five components: (1) the outlook for future college enrollments in general, particularly in engineering fields; (2) the share of engineering students entering civil engineering; (3) the number of new graduates that are United States citizens and able to work in the United States; (4) the proportion of these graduates that state highway agencies recruit; and (5) how the number of new engineers that states recruit compares with the number of new recruits needed.
