Declining enrollments-a 'now' strategy for the future

The author examines ways that college instructors might be able to reach down to the grade-school level to inspire young students to follow a path to engineering schools and ultimately to the engineering profession. A practical example is given that will demonstrate how one can make that path visible and exciting by providing means by which these youngsters can have measures of success with 'hands on' activity. It is the author's belief that once these young people become focused on engineering, it will be difficult to keep them out of engineering classrooms of the future.<
