As another American engineer, I'm in agreement with you 100%.

It's not just engineering. Pure science, which is the bastion of future
engineering as well as an attraction to bright minds, is being done
offshore because research which violates superstition or offends our
superstitous leaders (such as stem cell research) is illegal here.
