The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

The tech jobs include computers and electronics, telecom, biotech/pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, computer systems design, environmental services, biological research, recreational goods production (mainly golf equipment), and transportation equipment. Computers and electronics production peaked in 2000 and has declined by half, says Cunningham. Golf equipment peaked in 1998 and has been in a slow decline. Environmental tech has been about flat.
The big winner is scientific research and development services — primarily, biotech and pharmaceutical industries; second is wireless communications.
San Diego has a significant presence in seven of eight major tech areas, notes Cunningham; none of the other 24 major metro areas can make that statement.
