“No profession unleashes the spirit of innovation like engineering.  From research to real-world applications, engineers constantly discover how to improve lives by creating bold new solutions that connect science to life in unexpected, forward-thinking ways. Few professions turn so many ideas into so many realities. Few have such a direct and positive effect on people’s everyday lives. We are counting on engineers and their imaginations to help us meet the needs of the 21st century.”
