Youngsters reject engineering due to lack of awareness

''Young people are rejecting engineering as a career choice because they don’t know enough about the profession, according to new research to mark the start of Tomorrow’s Engineers Week.



The research shows only half of 11 to 14-year-olds would consider a career in engineering and less than one in ten (7 per cent) plan to be engineers once they finish their education.



Girls in particular are not attracted to engineering as a career option, with 65 per cent saying they would not consider a career in engineering, a quarter (24 per cent) of which do not think that engineering is a suitable or attractive career for women.'' E&T Magazine



I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

    It is the passion for a particular profession which makes things simple may it be engineering or sports.Parents or elders who are directly indirectly involved in engineering should demonstrate the values & status of an engineer to the youngstars.

    It is not only generation of wealth from a specific profession but the development of skill,level of thinking,level of working,moral status are most important aspect of life. Engineers can be innovators & support system to any other profession even to medical science.

    Even after retirement an engineer can help the society through his thought process and experience. Technical aspects are similar all over the world but a LAWYER is restricted to a particular country.In that sense opportunities of an engineer is much more wider.
