Well, Jake, I don't know about this image thing. I am more concerned
about how we see ourselves, rather than how others see us.
Do you really believe that engineering is a viable profession?
Why not have the section newsletter carry the following questions:
Would you advise your child to pursue a career in Engineering?
Why?
I would be very interested in the results.
I have always worked with various highly skilled, hard working engineers,
well respected by their peers. I haven't found one of them suggesting
that their children become engineers. As a matter of fact, most suggest
their children enter the professions (Medicine, Law, Dentistry). Why is
that?
