Those Crazy Engineers
OK, so maybe engineers and engineering students don't have reputations as party-animal kinds of folks who liven every social get-together (this from someone whose 81-year-old father still wears a pocket protector that carries an Eversharp pencil). But maybe there won't be as many engineers in our future as we originally thought. Today's 19th most-shared URL among bloggers is Douglas Kern at Tech Central Station offering his "Confessions of an Engineering Washout," an essay about why the U.S. will soon fall behind the rest of the world in engineering, too. Bloggers respond. Is the brain drain the result of bad teaching or just a bad fit for the profession? Or laziness? Jeff the Baptist offers a guide to engineering education that's, well, at least well-engineered.
