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.

Not only is stem cell research legal here, some states have actually
started funding it because the feds won't. One of the better things about
this country is that it is big enough that a few states can actually have
a significant impact on such things compared to other countries around the
world.
