We really don't want to shortchange students. We want to leave our jobs saying, ?I made a difference in students lives. Instead, we feel like when we leave our jobs, there are so many undone things we wish we'd have more time to do.

The jobs are out there, and the pay is good, but the students don't enter these fields if they're not informed about where the jobs are.

One hundred percent of the students who graduate are employed. There's more jobs than we can fill. It's a good problem to have.

We have a real contradiction where students are saying, on the one hand, it's no big deal and didn't report it ... but on the other hand, they say, 'Yes, I was upset by it, yes, it made me feel bad about myself.

They are basically saying students can't express themselves by wearing anything with a Confederate flag on it.

Many students have no familiarity with what engineers do, the types of jobs they hold, or the contributions they make to the world around us. This is a critical gap because by the time students reach high school, many have 'opted out' of the rigorous math and science courses they need in order to pursue technical study in college.
