【正确答案】The diagram above clearly shows that the dramatic elevation has occurred in the recruitment of Master of Engineering in the past seven years. According to the figures given above, we can see the recruitment of ME was on a steady rise from 1998 to 2004. In 1998, the number was at a low level, only about 2,500. Surprisingly, it reached to more than 35,000 in 2004 within no more than seven years.
Some driving factors that contribute to the above-mentioned changes may be summarized as follows. First of all, china has become particularly active in manufacturing, which leads to the increasing demand of qualified engineers. Secondly, the development of job market on the whole can't keep pace with the expansion of college graduates, which obliges many students to stay on campus for another three years to get better prepared for their career. In addition, working pressure is another reason. Taking all these factors into consideration, we may predict that with the rapid development of our society, the number of recruitment of ME will keep growing in the forthcoming decade.
On the other side of the coin, however, this tendency may bring about many problems, such as the waste of talent. We should take measures to ensure this situation doesn't get out of hand, and encourage students to choose majors in which knowledge and skills will be demanded in the job market.
