		And engineering schools can no longer be judged solely by the quality of their research and teaching.
		Many of those engineers attend U.S. engineering graduate schools because this is where the big research programs are and in particular, it is where the new technologies that drive economies are being created.
		U.S. engineering schools, for their part, are glad to have these international students because there aren’t enough domestic engineering students to staff university laboratories.

	Andrew J Viterbi: 2005 Bejamin Franklin Medal in Electrical Engineering
		This was to prove one his most important contributions, but the accumulation of citations to this work shows an unusual delay, with few acknowledgements in the journal literature of a report that would eventually transform how we communicate both voice and image data (see figure 1).
		Viterbi’s work was so valuable and so visionary that nearly three decades have passed, and scientists in many fields are still finding ways to employ this powerful decoding method, with his earliest paper receiving more citations in 2004 alone than in the first 13 years of its existence.
		Viterbi’s two earliest books on communications and information theory – his 1966 Principles of Coherent Communication, and his 1973 Principles of Digital Communication – are themselves referenced extensively, with over 600 citations to each of these works.

	Interview: Dr. C.L. Max Nikias, USC Viterbi School of Engineering \| socalTECH.com
		Engineering schools are generally the part of a university that is closest to industry because we do both long range fundamental research and shorter term applied research.
		This center, a collaboration between the Viterbi School, the Keck School of Medicine and Caltech and UC - Santa Cruz, is developing biologically inspired implantable microelectronic devices capable of direct communication with human tissue.
		Defense funding is important to all engineering schools because defense agencies pay for a lot of basic research that often leads to big things completely outside of defense.
