?? Our 2025 Engineering Outlook Survey highlights a critical workforce challenge. Despite 83% seeing a strong market, only 11% say we have enough engineers for infrastructure demands! These findings suggest that as seasoned engineers retire, firms risk losing critical expertise, and recruiting younger talent is proving to be a significant challenge. Not having enough skilled, experienced engineers to tackle critical infrastructure projects could be a major issue not only just for the profession but also for the entire country. Stay tuned for similar insights about the workforce in the full report!

Today UTEP Miners celebrated TCM Day, the longest-running student tradition on campus that pays tribute to the University's roots in mining. In addition to whitewashing the "M" on the mountain, students took part in a race on campus that immerses them in the rigors and challenges faced by past miners. They also paid homage to the patron saint of engineering, St. Pat. ?? Long live the Miners! ?? #PicksUp #TCMDay UTEP College of Engineering
