CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 75 directed studies (perhaps longitudinal) of the economic impacts of technological unemployment on individuals and groups. CONCLUSION Current engineering students are generally among the most able in their age cohort, with high ability in science and math as well as strong verbal skills. However, science and math literacy in the overall high school population is declining. It cannot be assumed that engineering schools' students will continue indefinitely to be drawn from the highest ability group. Yet a great increase in emphasis on science and math in engineering work can be expected by the year 2000. RECOMMENDATION The engineering professionâin particular, the professional societiesâ should actively support efforts by government at all levels to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of precollege education in science and mathematics.
