LIKE THE REST of the country, California faces a serious shortage of engineers in the coming years-as many as 40,000 workers. Late last year, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced several solutions, including expedited university certification for veterans with engineering experience; $1 million in funds for community college-industry apprenticeships; the launching of an Engineering Education Council; and the expansion of High Tech High, an engineering-focused charter school program. It all sounded great. But in January, Schwarzengger proposed drastic 2008-9 budget cuts to counter the state's anticipated $14.5 billion deficit. With a reduction of more than $1.1 billion in funding, California's public universities and colleges may now have to turn to such measures as hiring freezes, enrollment limitations, and raised fees. Will Schwarzenegger prove to be the savior of engineering education or the terminator?-ROBIN TATU
