How engineers make a world of difference “TV programs on science, technology, engineering and mathematics are probably
more plentiful than most people realize. These shows demonstrate how engineering can be used to solve problems and can be a lot of fun. One important result is that they will help to interest kids in math and science careers.” — Paul J. Kostek, Vice President for Communications and Public Awareness, IEEE-USA
