Teach the children well

Comment

There are several factors contributing to these problems. First we need to address the apathy and the taking for granted of everything engineering based, irrespective of what it is. Second we need children to understand how things are made, developed, and what goes into these processes. Third we need engineering to be salaried accordingly, not the current low salaries as children are taught to chase the money. Engineering is ignored because its low paid. Four, children need to be taught that everything around them is engineering based, their school tables and chairs, computers, mobile phones, cars which their parents drive, and everything else.
