>Engineering Not on Radar for Kids or Parents
>A projected shortage of 70,000 U.S. engineers by
>2010, may be a product of children's view and
>parents lack of encouragement regarding
>engineering. This American Society for Quality
>(ASQ) study found 85% of kids are not interested
>in a future engineering career. The most highly
>cited reasons included little knowledge about
>the subject (44%) and a preference for a more
>exciting career (30%). Parents may be partially
>to blame. The study found only 20% of parents
>have or will encourage consideration of a career
>in engineering, despite 97% of parents reporting
>they believe knowledge of math and science will
>help their children have a successful career.
>Notable gender differences among parental
>encouragement were also found. For example, 31%
>of boys vs. 10% of girls were encouraged to
>consider engineering. To address this shortage
>ASQ will offer webinars during National
>Engineers Week, February 15-21. Titled "Real
>World of Engineering," the webinars are designed
>to provide a clear view of what engineers do and
>what skills are necessary to become an engineer.
