If, as rumored, Russia is falling apart, at least it leads the world in engineering graduates to put it back together. The US is not falling apart (Is it?), which is a good thing, because it has only about half as many engineering graduates. Notice on the linked graph how many Asian countries are in the top ten, with only one European nation, France of all places, making the list. From Niall McCarthy, at statista.com:
Which countries produce the most engineering graduates every year? According to research carried out by the World Economic Forum (excluding China and India due to lack of data), Russia is in first position, churning out over 454,000 graduates in engineering, manufacturing and construction on average every year. The United States is in second position with nearly 238,000 while Iran rounds off the top three with 233,700. Developing economies are producing more graduates than ever with both Vietnam and Indonesia making the top 10 list
This chart shows top countries for graduates in engineering, manufacturing and construction.
