ENGINEER SPOTLIGHT: Marcus D. Ashford - Driving Force WHAT DO YOU DO FOR AN ENCORE WHEN, AS A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING GRAD STUDENT, YOU HELPED DEVELOP A SYSTEM THAT REDUCED FORD NAVIGATOR EMISSIONS BY 80 PERCENT?"Forget about hydrogen. Women and minorities, in engineering, they are the real untapped resources," he says.
ENGINEER SPOTLIGHT: Noel Sharkey - Jolly Good Fellow
“We need to get out the idea that engineering can be creative—and then make it so. Somehow, we need to teach innovation.” But Sharkey also realizes that few schools have either the time or the money to reshape their curricula. “So we could use a government initiative.”Sharkey also takes a more long-term view toward revitalizing engineering enrollments, noting that it’s best to capture the imagination of budding engineers when they’re as young as 10 or 11. Toward that goal, he runs a series of robot-control and construction competitions for children and young adults.
ENGINEER SPOTLIGHT: David Wormley - A Man of Vision
“We have to have strong cooperation between science and engineering faculties with K-12 students and teachers so students get an appreciation of how they can contribute to society by a career in engineering. This has to happen early because we are already losing students by middle school and junior high.”
