Abstract
Engineers and scientists in industry often work in highly specialized, formatted tasks which require a high degree of specific skills but not necessarily a wide range of scientific knowledge. A company often molds its engineers to fill specific organizational responsibilities, thereby contributing to the loss of broad-based knowledge of their fields. When organizational tasks change, individual engineers often find themselves obsolete. Current shortages of engineers make this obsolescence costly to the nation.
