Earlier this month, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) released results of a study assessing engineering workforce trends relative to the offerings and effectiveness of engineering programs of Kentucky schools, colleges and universities.
The study found that Kentucky engineering jobs are growing slightly faster than engineering jobs across the is computer science engineering, and that earnings for engineers are fairly competitive with regional states. This is good news for those aspiring to and training for the engineering profession and planning on practicing in Kentucky. Engineering programs across the commonwealth will move to fill tech force gaps as they have always done, but we expect to do more than that. We should be expected to do more than that.
For example, the increased prevalence of automation on the factory floor and the emergence of complex international supply chains has caused fundamental shifts in what engineers must know and be able to do to drive the manufacturing sector of our economy.
