The challenge?
Enrollments in engineering technology in Ohio: Down for the past decade
Enrollment in the EET program at Zane State: Up each year for the past decade
![Page 17: America’s Future Natural Resources:](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042822/5681321a550346895d987b5d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
