Professor Michael J H Sterling
President's Inaugural Lecture by Professor Michael Sterling. The engineering profession faces many challenges as we begin the new millennium. In the UK the popularity of engineering as a career is declining and employers in some fields report difficulties recruiting qualified staff. Other countries in the western world face similar declines, but in the Asia-Pacific region, expansion is still strong. The lecture analyses these relative positions and illustrates how supply and demand patterns have changed over time.
