Charles Jennett dean of the college of engineering at Clemson, said the problem is quite severe. "Industry tends to locate where engineers and engineering schools are. South Carolina is quite attractive to out-of-state industry, but that industry is unable to come here when we nan't nrnHn^p nnonoh pn0inppr? Thpv thon hrtvp to Un out of state to make up for what we can't produce." David Waugh, dean of USC's College of Engineering, said "It is essential for our schools to produce enough engineers to meet the state's needs. For every engineer an inHnctrv hirpc thprp arp aHHitinnallv 90 othf?r inh openings. We need to encourage industry to come to South Carolina." Waugh said USC alone needs to turn out 3-4 times as many engineers as it does. Jennett said "For our engineering schools to grow we need more PhD's, but they are being taken away by industry. When they get taken there is no one left to teach the undergraduates. Whv should the undergraduates go on for graduate degrees when they can make starting out $27,000 without one? They simply can't afford the loss in pay" Waugh said engineering students have a bright future. "We have seven percent of the graduates and 70 percent of the job offers. Companies are literally fighting over our graduates. By their sophomore year our students can name who they want to work for and by the time they graduate they are offered salaries averaging $27,000. The best ones make more than that." Both USC and Clemson are having trouble meeting this engineer shortage because they are presently suffering heavily from the effects of state-wide budget cuts. USC, for instance, had to "disenroll" 160 students at the beginning of the academic year due to budget cuts. Uiemson nas nirea viriuany no engineering pruiessuia m the past 10 years and is teaching double the number of students that it did then, Jennett said. Waugh sees the budget cuts as especially unfortunate. In addition to disenrolling students, he says the engineering department's equipment has been cut. He said he hopes the disenrollments are temporary and expresses the desire that the students can return wher more funding is available. ;>;> vuiuciiipuicii y 1111 i'i' and f MOLSON GOLDI f present AMATEUR NK I BEER SPECIAL: ?g || Molson Golden Ale I | 9-11:00 jpfi | Admission | p. || J U-GpLpEt^.
