Not enough engineers is not a problem in the US, the main problem is not enough jobs, after outsourcing almost all engineering jobs offshore to India, China, Vietnam, Eastern European countries etc. In US, the outsourced agencies brought in engineers from India, they occupied the job at lower cost when they first come, become permanent and took over, as these people only want to hire their own. In job interviews, especially in Silicon Valley, most of the team will interview, then these new comers will break all rules, asking illegal questions, making interviews like test, exams, or thesis defense debates. They have an issue at work, they advertise the position, interview people and asked these innocent interviewee what their thoughts or solutions are to such problems. They got various answers, and they went back to work, but never hire any one that they interviewed. If hire, they want to hire those who speak the same language (not English). With these sort of issues problems, how can local graduates or local American engineers get a job. You get so discouraged that younger people do not want to work in such environment/area of work.
I am reading Isaacson's book now, and I am feeling surprisingly reassured that Apple will succeed. If Jobs could be so passionate, and so compelling, and actually motivate his team to achieve beyond their own feelings of their capabilities, and could "abuse" his best people to do even better - and they stayed and did - then this company seems now to have a part of Jobs' soul. It will persevere.
