[Coco] off-topic, space program

ALL consumer electronics has some or all of its parts manufactured outside 
the US. Even Motorola does not manufacture cellphones in the US anymore, 
Mexico and mostly China.  Sunbeam does not manufacture any of their 
products. Some thrid parrty company builds it for them in Taiwan or China. 

The state of Engineering here in the US is trending to project management. 
The engineers are overseeing designs and manufacture outside the US. The 
only real place to do full enegineering  and manufacture is in defense related 
electronics and in Civil Engineering. IF I had children entering college I would 
not instruct them to become an ELectrical or Mechanical Engineer. A Civil 
Engineer is okay. Civil Engineering is about one of the engineering jobs that 
will be difficult to ship oversees.
