According to a recent study by the National Science Foundation, the number of scientists and engineers in the United States is expected to grow by a third in the next ten years. However, this growth is not being taken advantage of, as currently, these groups are under-represented in critical positions in the field. One solution to this problem is to increase the number of spatially gifted scientists and engineers.

There are a number of reasons why spatially gifted scientists and engineers may be underrepresented in critical positions in the field. For one, they may not have the same exposure to the field as other professionals. Additionally, they may not have the same opportunities to learn from experience and work with other professionals in the field. Finally, they may not have the same incentive to pursue a career in spatial science and engineering.

According to the National Science Foundation, the number of spatially gifted scientists and engineers is expected to grow by a third in the next ten years. However, this growth is not being taken advantage of, as currently, these groups are under-represented in critical positions in the field. One solution to this problem is to increase the number of spatial-talented scientists and engineers by training them in the latest spatial science and engineering techniques. This can provide them with the same exposure to the latest spatial science and engineering concepts as other professionals and give them the incentive to pursue a career in spatial science and engineering.
