Despite this, very few K-12 teachers have formal training in engineering.

A logicalplace to look for these STEM graduates is to the community colleges. In fact theneed for more STEM graduates is considered vital to the future of America by theUS Department of Labor. “Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)fields have become increasingly central to U.S. economic competitiveness andgrowth, and long-term strategies to maintain and increase living standards, andpromote opportunity will require coordinated efforts among public, private, andnot-for-profit entities to promote innovation and to prepare an adequate supply ofqualified

tofind many who would find reason to disagree with the identification of any of these topics forboth present and future engineers. Rather than object to what is included, I would like to raise theissue of what has been neglected on this list and far too often in engineering – listening to thequiet voices that speak from within each of us, from our heart. I am suggesting this act oflistening as one additional entry for this most important list.In my view, our profession does not encourage very well stopping and listening to each other, tolife around us or even to ourselves. This is a skill that given our pace of our modern society,technological advances and our cultural conditioning, must be cultivated for it surely will eitherdevelop or quickly
