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?
Engineering should be made as difficult as possible. Weed out those who can't handle it. Decrease the number of graduates but increase their quality. It will increase the price engineers can command in the marketplace.
