NOTICE: The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievement of engineers. Dr. Robert M. White is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

Funds for the National Academy of Engineering’s Symposium Series on Prospering in a Global Economy were provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Academy’s Technology Agenda Program. This publication has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a National Academy of Engineering report review process. The views expressed in this volume are those of the authors and are not presented as the views of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation or the National Academy of Engineering.
