Change the Message Change the World
Publication: Civil Engineering Magazine Archive
Volume 94, Issue 3
Abstract
Engineering is a profession that has a “concrete” image. And for years, students have been told — whether outright or through subtle messaging — that to be engineers, they must excel at math and science. Although there is no doubt that these are intrinsic elements of the discipline and some level of mastery is essential, there has been a shift to highlight some of the other aspects needed to be an engineer. To combat these potentially off-putting descriptors, a host of individuals from within and without the engineering community have convened over the years to change the messages that the profession sends to students and parents to let them know that engineering is open to many and offers a wide variety of opportunities to change the world.
