Math + science = innovation, but US lags in the equation
Behind these moves lurks the fear that many young Americans are abandoning math and science at a time when students in emerging countries like China and India are mastering the subjects. China graduated 500,000 engineers last year, and India 200,000, compared with 70,000 in the United States, according to the National Academy of Sciences study.

And just where would an American engineer find a job these days? A foreign engineer in the states on an H1B visa is OWNED by the company sponsoring him. He can't quit and go to work for another company. Other engineering jobs are being relocated overseas.
