"The Technology Mosaic," http://insidehighered.com, May 25, 2006. "The report forecasts a 2020 where engineers are leaders in everything from government to medicine. Rutter said Harvard, along with other institutions that have seen 2020 in their minds’s eyes, seek 'to alter the way engineering is taught and the way engineering is perceived, and to connect it to real world applications.'
