Looking ahead for next 10 years, the areas that will see skills shortage is in mining, energy, water, food.Mining becuase all commodities are going higher.
Energy because world crude production has peaked in year 2005.This could hearald an ear of unconventional energy such as wind, oil shales, coal to liquid.World natural gas production has peaked in 2007.Food shortage is because world food supply is going down where as demand keeps rising as population rises and fromerly poor becomes rich.Water for the same reason.
Hence bullish engineeing streams:
Agriculture
Geology
Petroleum
Ocean
civil engineering
