I also notice that whenever you see a professional on TV they are either a doctor, lawyer, or architect? Someone I know switched from engineering to architecture ... she was telling someone about eng but then when she switched to saying she was an architect the person's eyes lit up and they said something along the lines of "wow, you're an architect!". Its enough to make you cry into your coffee! subSquall Subversive Guide to Engineering http://subversiveguidetoeng.blogspot.com So very true.

The different branches of engineering are too just too diverse and may have conflicting interests. For hi-tech, there already are two very famous people that act as excellent ambassadors -- Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

Also, I think that engineers don't get the word out about their careers because (stereotypically) engineers aren't good communicators (excluding the authors of some excellent engineering blogs). Systemic problem. I think the key is to have one really famous person who is an outstanding communicator and a face for the profession, like Jacques Cousteau for oceanography. I love the comic.

Optimism is the only way to go, in any part of our lives. Plus, you and me? We ARE the ad blitz campaign for engineering (with a few other blogs out there). Ah Flux, you’ll come around eventually.
