“…For example, OECD (2018) uses the number of scientists and engineers as an indicator for measuring a country's technological human resources. Maloney and Caicedo (2017) present a historical analysis of the impact of engineers density on technological intensification and structural change. de Rassenfosse and van Pottelsberghe ( 2009) use the number of full-time scientists and engineers as a measure of innovation effort in a patent knowledge function and show evidence of a positive relationship between research effort and patents fillings.…”

“…The phenomena can be external or internal to the university. They can arise from governments pushing for more students to study engineering (Blackley & Howell, 2015) to drive economic innovation (Denney, 2011) and promote national economic growth (Maloney & Caicedo, 2017). On an ironic note, however, while governments may have the impetus for economic growth and competition (and pushing for certain student outcomes accordingly), they also offer limited support due to the aforementioned political economic paradigm (i.e., neoliberalism) that constrains state intervention in the education sector (Klees, 2008;Shore, 2010).…”

Background: There are myriad social, political, and economic factors that influence decision-making processes in and around engineering education. Although the engineering education community may study those processes and their effects using a variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods, a more systematic use of concepts from political science and economics could help advance the study of engineering education. Purpose:In this article, we outline concepts and tools from the study of political science and economics that can help clarify aspects of the engineering education system that many researchers may already intuit by providing precise language and analytical formalisms to describe and explain aspects of engineering education more directly.Scope: By way of introduction to the field of engineering education, we begin by outlining definitions. We then illustrate six main phenomena within engineering education where researchers can potentially apply these ideas to further understand and improve elements of how we educate engineers. Conclusions:By focusing on the political and economic factors influencing engineering education, researchers, faculty members, administrators, and/or stakeholders can have an alternative set of conceptual tools at their disposal for studying, analyzing, and changing engineering education systems. *Author affiliations can be found in the back matter of this article 29 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education 30 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education 31 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education 32 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education 33 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education 42 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education 46 Katz and Main Studies in Engineering Education

“…There are three reasons we focused our research on Romanian technical universities: firstly, there is an important connection between a country's engineering capacity and its economic development (Maloney & Caicedo, 2016), secondly, the importance of Entrepreneurial education for engineers has been highlighted in the literature in the past years (Da Silva et al, 2015;Barba-Sánchez & Atienza-Sahuquillo, 2018), and thirdly, the average number of engineering students enrolled in bachelor programs between 2014 and 2018 was 86463, representing 21% of Romania's entire student population (Romanian Ministry of Education -2018).…”
