To make matters worse, 2/3’s of all the engineers and scientists in the US are within 5 years of retirement.

That is a terrible figure, do you have a source. Science and technology is fun, but it is harder than being a DJ or a talk show presenter. I think that we can blame the non-Meccano and non-Lego generation.

2/3’s of all the engineers and scientists in the US are within 5 years of retirement. Reference, please? I'm not doubting you but I'd like to see it for myself.

To make matters worse, 2/3’s of all the engineers and scientists in the US are within 5 years of retirement. The premise of the article is that US born Engineering Majors are somehow being betrayed.
Not one supporting fact.
An example of a fact would be that US born Engineering graduates can't get jobs. Where is that statistic?
The reason so few Americans pursue an Engineering degree is that it is too difficult. Foreign students are willing to put in the effort that is required to get the degree.
