• “High anxiety in high-tech sector,” St. Paul Pioneer Press, Jan. 22, 2006. Business columnist Dave Beal writes, “Minnesota 's top high-tech business and academic leaders are growing more anxious about declining interest in engineering programs at the state's colleges and universities. They fear for the future of the country's economy if the situation isn't turned around. Last week, they rallied at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul to step up a new push to raise public awareness of their concerns. The university's School of Engineering and the Minnesota High Tech Council brought William Wulf, president of the National Academy of Engineering to the Twin Cities. They have turned to him for help in making and marketing the connection between engineering and science education and national competitiveness.” https://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/business/columnists/13675273.htm
