  2. Engineering degrees provide individuals with careers in a number of different fields, all dealing with advanced work with electrical power, power systems, electrical equipment and power systems manufacturing, and more.

  3. We need to come up with some fun programs for kids to get into engineering at an early age, otherwise the talent pool will continue to get smaller.

    • You are right. But already there are tons on public school programs that are getting elementary school age kids into robotics, legos, and other engineering type activities. It is actually way better than it was when I was in elementary school, when all we did was “observe” salt and sugar grains and describe their “characteristics.”
