Engineers Make a Difference Campaign Across America

I believe in what I do and think that I may be instrumental in catalyzing a shift in how the world views engineering. I'm dissatisfied with the status-quo and will talk to anyone that will listen about the change that I want to see in the world. I believe in it so much that I've devoted my life, my spirit, my energy and my faith into making the vision I have of a better future into a reality.

But it's not just talk. I have a new book coming out – Engineers Make a Difference: Motivating Students to Pursue an Engineering Education with a foreword by Cary Sneider.  I believe that this book can help countless people and programs get on the right track, stop reinventing the wheel and find numerous ways to interest even the hardest to reach students. I wrote it because in the 10 years that I have spent visiting schools, motivating students and promoting engineering education were always the most urgent concerns.

To spread this message, I've decided that I want to meet everyone that is doing K-12 engineering and talk to every student and educator about the possibilities. I've spearheaded the Engineers Make a Difference Campaign Across America to spread this message. As part of this campaign, I plan to visit schools in every state, give radio or television interviews and also recruit you to keep the message alive (this can be as simple as putting a Bumper Sticker on your car or kicking up your coolness by wearing an Engineers Make a Difference T-shirt).

Last week, I visited the east coast and gave presentations at Northeastern University and Rochester Institute of Technology. For two out of three events, I talked to K-12 students that are interested in becoming engineers and was simply amazed at their excitement, inspiration and can-do attitude. The tide is turning - engineering enrollment is on the rise (especially for women) and we are all at the beginning of a big wave. We can either work together and ride it out or duck down and let it pass. You know where I'll be. I hope you'll join me.
