How should schools and industries ensure that Maine continues to supply companies like Fairchild with qualified engineers?
I think it’s the responsibility of our state’s schools and colleges to educate the engineers of the future. Students need to be exposed to the principles and concepts of math and science at a young age. These concepts need to be reinforced throughout their education by exposing students to math and science “in action.” The Maine Engineering Promotion Council’s goal is to provide these opportunities by organizing the Maine Engineers Week banquet and expo. Hopefully the scholastic horizons of the students will be broadened during Engineers Week.
