Colleges across the USA have reported a steady decline in the number of engineering and science majors graduating from US Colleges and Universities. Currently, there is a very high need in these fields for incoming students, but few American students select the field of engineering.
To continue producing graduates for these in-demand fields, many US Universities have shifted their focus of recruitment for these majors to international students, specifically students from India. In particular, four of the best engineering and science schools, Tennessee Tech University, California State University Fresno, University of San Francisco and Oregon State University will be sending admissions representatives to meet prospective students in Bangkok.
