In the near future the demand for space-related civil engineering skills will increase as the focus of the international space enterprise shifts to include larger orbital structures, asteroidal, lunar and martian surface structures. Specialized engineering skills will be required to design, test, manufacture, construct, operate and maintain this growing orbital and extraterrestrial infrastructure. For the last twenty years the number of civil engineering graduates produced by United States universities has been steadily declining despite the growing international inventory of terrestrial civil engineered infrastructure. The growing disparity between world demand and American supply will change the shape of the space enterprise significantly in the next twenty years.
