The article examines the history of engineering education in the United States. The ability of the United States to support innovation primarily requires professionals with high qualifications in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). These professionals work in government, industry, and science. Engineers play a particularly important role in the development of the latest technological systems and processes. In recent decades, politicians, employers, researchers, and educators have paid close attention to the US engineering education system and the relevance of engineering skills to the modern needs of the country's economy. The emergence and spread of engineering training programs is the result of a combination of several key factors in technological development in the United States. Such factors include the nation's desire to remain a major leader in technology and innovation; national reports on the state of engineering education; development of technical universities; expansion of programs in the field of engineering education; and the gradual development of curricula with a greater emphasis on theoretical knowledge. Engineering skills and knowledge are crucial factors for innovation and technological development of the country. They also contribute to long-term economic growth and help solve major societal problems. That is why it is important to understand the educational and career path of engineers who embody the skills and knowledge, as well as the system of institutions, development strategies, market, labor and other resources that together prepare, develop and replenish the country's engineers.
