Based on your own experience, is the poll on to something?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Engineering...Beyond the Classroom, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Engineering...Beyond the Classroom today.
