美国工程师必须对国际活动更为重视,以免在迅速变化的专业知识方面落后于人。这是美国国家工程科学院的专家小组受国家科学基金会之托所作的一篇报道中作出的结论。尽管为了贯彻落实专家小组提出的旨在发展全球观点的某些具体建议需要花钱,但该报道的作者们却声称,要确保工程界在学术上和管理上都能蓬勃发展,关键在于改变过去的态度。数十年来,工程界已经起了变化。美国的贸易差额每况愈下,而且目前的高技术进口也已超过出口。事实上,其它国家已有能力进行技术革新,而且世界新技术市场也已急剧扩大。科学院的这篇报道警告说:但是美国的工程界中仍存在种种消极对抗的态度,而以不愿
American engineers must pay more attention to international activities to avoid falling behind in the rapidly changing professional knowledge. This is the conclusion of a report by the National Academy of Engineering expert panel under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. Although some of the specific recommendations put forward by the panel of experts aimed at developing a global perspective are costly to be implemented, the authors of the article claim that the key to ensuring that the engineering community thrives both academically and managerially is to change the past Attitude. For decades, engineering has changed. The U.S. trade balance is deteriorating, and the current high-tech imports have also surpassed exports. In fact, other countries have been able to carry out technological innovations and the world's new technology market has also expanded dramatically. The report of the Academy of Sciences warned: However, there are still various negative confrontational attitudes in the U.S. engineering community, but they are reluctant
