Really? What evidence do you have for that? Are you saying that companies like Airbus, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, ASML, Leonardo, Rolls-Royce, Dassault Aviation, Toyota, Bosch, Komatsu, Siemens, ABB, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Alstom, Vestas, Samsung, Sony, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding etc. don't have world class engineers?
- SR2Z 1mo agoThe United States has the best engineers because it pays the best. Good engineers from other places move here to capture some of that. Obviously strict licensing laws would get in the way of that. Outside of some exceptions which don't really exist in the US (shipbuilding and heavy forging) the American companies in those industries are highly competitive and often market share leaders.
- deterministic 1mo ago> The United States has the best engineers because it pays the best Nope. There are many counter examples of companies being world leading without paying world leading salaries to their engineers. It's a big mistake to believe that the only thing all engineers care about is $. Yes it is true for some engineers but not for all.
- SR2Z 1mo agoIt's true for most engineers (most human beings, really) and not by a small margin.
