Careers in Engineering
A greater diversity of engineers is needed in the field
todevelop the best possible designs, products andprocesses
Many pre-university students do not choose engineering
because they have little awareness of what engineersreally do
and have distorted perceptions about whatengineering entails (its
nerdy, really hard, male only,have to be really good in math and
science, doesntmake a difference in the world etc)
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook,engineers held
1.5 million jobs in 2006 in the US aloneso career opportunities are
plentiful
