Be An Engineer and Change The World, It Happens
I’ll just say right out that Joel Douglas, aUCONN engineer, should do a TED talk on how he thinks. He has more than 80 U.S. patents on his ideas and even more foreign patents. This is one smart guy who will, and already has changed the world.
Very interesting concept… Will be nice when more smaller scale sources are developed to generate electricity for the average homeowner using a combination of sun, wind and water.
Joel displays the spirit of innovation that made the US great. Unfortunately, rampant outsourcing of engineering jobs discourages talented young people from majoring in engineering. Until that is changed, interest in engineering will continue to decline.
Mary, as with everything these days there is a shift, no better time than now to make engineering something for the “cool” kids.
