What is President Obama doing for more Engineering degrees?President Barack Obama is emphasizing the importance of technology all over the world. President Obama is making sure that kids have the right technology for school. The President wants more skilled engineers because its less likely that America will benefit from the next generation. He believes that increasing the number of science and engineering will retain and grow jobs. So, Obama wants people everywhere to study engineering and create new inventions because it’ll benefit America throughout the years.
