Engineers: Our image sux.

I am an engineer. I am proud of my profession.

The problem: People don't know what I do, why I do it, and what value do I bring to the table. The problem is pandemic. Or, we have a negative image.

Geeks. Nerds. Propeller heads. Etc.

Or, the image of engineers is frankenstein. We do things that harm the environment. We make things that harm people. Etc.

We need a makeover. What would this look like. I don't know.

I've got a 7 year old daughter - Margaux. She's smart. More technically inclined than me at her age. She doesn't want to be an engineer.

We got problems ...
