Why Students Are Leaving Engineering

Ted writes "A former engineering major has written an interesting article explaining why he thinks many smart students are not studying engineering anymore." Many business leaders have commented on the lack of engineers and several companies have even started initiatives to help bolster our diminishing ranks. Will these measures be enough, or does the system require much more drastic measures?

  1. Hi, George by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    hello, i'm george zimmerman, founder and ceo of the men's warehouse. i was at the bank, depositing my billions of ill-gotten gains, when some little punk decided to rob me. i looked him in the eye as he let loose a spray of bullets in my direction. in no time, my massive manhood missile tore out of my freshly tailored pants, stopping the bullets as it ricochotted off my purple helmetted soldier of love. the look of fright in his eyes caused my love machine to tingle, and with my obliterated pants lay strewn about my ankle, i charged at him with the ferocity of a freight train. scared and helpless, he tried to run but it was futile as he got a taste of my collosal cock cannon crashing across his cranium, knocking him across the floor, through several desks, and finally him crashing against the wall, where i stood over him releasing a multitude of manjuice, drowning him in my rich protein shake. the copious amount of corn syrup from my pulsating fleshmeat flooded the bank and several nearby streets, injuring hundreds as they tried to flee. i guarentee it.
