The United States was once the dominant, global leader in science and engineering, but that ranking has dropped as other countries invest in research and development, according to a new report.
And although there are more women and minorities involved in the science and engineering workforce than before, they are still underrepresented in the US. The findings were presented this week in the State of US Science and Engineering 2020 report, compiled and published by the National Science Board and the National Science Foundation. The report is published every two years and submitted to Congress.
Publications from the US and Europe lead in the biomedical field, but China was the leader in engineering articles, producing twice as many as the US. The rapid development of science and engineering capabilities in other countries causes US spending and efforts in that subject to appear stale, despite its growth.
