  28. Past Growing economic sector Generation of high-paying jobs Major role in national defense Pride in American products Future Stagnating growth in traditional areas Loss of jobs due to outsourcing and productivity increases Questionable role in national defense Loss of association of products by nation of manufacture Manufacturing—past/future

  29. To think that the value of goods is equal to what people pay for them E.g., agriculture: cost has decreased, but we still value eating. A big mistake

  30. We have a strong agricultural industry today not because of economics, but because of a strong pro-agriculture Federal policy Agriculture • 1850-2000 • Huge loss in jobs (75% to 1.5% of labor force) • Huge decreases in food prices • Huge domestic food industry emerges • Value of food production is higher than ever • Food production is a national security issue

  31. The case for manufacturing • Products remain highly valued as their price drops • People will continue to consume manufactured goods • A strong domestic manufacturing base leads to associated industries, some in the service sector • A strong domestic manufacturing base is crucial to national security

  32. It will not benefit us to support a second-rate industry Maintaining a strongdomestic manufacturing base • Will take a positive Federal policy toward manufacturing • Will require a strong S&E talent base • Will demand the development and implementation of new technologies • Will require that we move into new product areas and new industries

  33. The need for manufacturing research • Maintains national competitiveness • Keeps domestic products in the marketplace • Strengthens domestic industries • Increases the value of our workforce • Improves the environment • Strengthens national security

  34. The role for NSF • The creation of entirely new ideas that result in • New products • New industries • New economic sectors • Enhance competitiveness • Strengthen engineering education to support the nation’s manufacturing enterprise
