What happened
The University of Arkansas College of Engineering launched Vision 2035, a 10-year plan designed to substantially increase the number of engineers it graduates and expand research and industry partnerships. The plan aims to meet Arkansas' growing demand for technical talent and keep high-wage careers within the state. Arkansas faces a growing STEM workforce shortage.

Why it matters
The plan is projected to generate $3.9 billion in additional annual economic impact for Arkansas and support 19,000 new jobs if the college doubles its graduates, research spending, and patents. Arkansas Secretary of Commerce Hugh McDonald noted that companies in defense technology, advanced manufacturing, and energy innovation require local engineering talent.
The University of Arkansas maintains its ties to the state of Arkansas.
