In 6-1/2 years, all of my children will be out of high school, and hopefully onto college. Since they were little I have made sure that they attended our local Camp Invention, which is a STEM-based weeklong summer camp designed to inspire and engage elementary school children in “science, technology, and their own innate creativity.” The kids have loved every summer ofCamp Invention, the only nationally recognized, non-profit elementary enrichment program backed by The National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Getting children interested young, in science and technology is the direction needed if they want a career in, for example, medical device engineering!
Recently, Newark element14, an electronic components distributor based in Chicago, created an infographic that details the opportunities and advantages of a career in engineering. It shows great information about a why choosing a career in engineering is good.
It shows:
- 7 out of the top 10 Fortune 500 companies are run by engineers
- 3 of the top 10 best paying professions involve engineering
- The top 10 states hiring the most engineers
