Making Engineering Appealing to the next generation

This course is from the IFEES GEDC Library.

Engineering faces a challenge in appealing to the next generation. Young people see other career fields as either contributing more to the health and welfare of their communities, or providing comparable compensation with less effort. Drawing on his personal background, ASEE Executive Director Norman L. Fortenberry will highlight the challenges and opportunities that were presented to him as indicative of the types of challenges faced by many others, draw general lessons about key challenges facing engineering educators, and discuss the importance of engineering playing a leading role in pre-college education.
