    In the United States alone there are more than two million engineers. What do they do? Is it any fun? How hard is engineering school? I found answers to all these questions and more. Follow me, a pocket protector is optional.

    Engineering: Your Future5 stars

    Everything here makes an engineering career look fun and exciting. Start with a look at the engineering alphabet from aerospace engineering to transportation engineering, and move on to learn how to choose the right engineering college. Don't miss the list of "many fascinating people" who have been engineers or have a engineering background. Still undecided? Assess yourself with two quizzes designed to determine your success in engineering. "Do you like to work with computers and play video games?" "Do you like mazes and puzzles?" Those who answer "yes" are good candidates for a career in engineering.

    Is Engineering For You?3 stars

    "Engineers investigate the most basic problems facing humanity: food, clothing, shelter, transportation and communication. Engineers are team members who put abstract scientific discoveries into practical applications. Engineers are innovators who take a fresh look at science and technology in order to apply old knowledge to finding feasible solutions to new human problems." This single page online brochure for high school students presents college entrance requirements and choices in engineering disciplines.
