    fastest growing segments of engineering

    it was a simple question. what do the data miners see as the fastest growing (worldwide) sectors of engineering. not the "next big thing". just the facts.. Thanks, Scott

    fastest growing segments of engineering

    yep, enr has a decent report... the environmental engineers have got a pretty good outlook. the structural guys are pretty much tied to the construction / real estate economy. Thanks, Scott
