pdf The review introduces the idea that all humans are engineers, followed by reflecting on the engineering basics shown in education systems from grades 6-12. Analysis 10/23/2012

Section one of the review emphasizes the differences between scientific inquiry and the engineering design process.

Section two of this article titled What do engineers do? emphasized the evolution of engineering topics and majors from its roots in renaissance times. This breakdown is followed by a chart displaying the majority of engineering majors with a brief explanation of its individual field activities.

The next section of the article explains recent trends in engineering majors (2008-2018). This breakdown is completed through a brief paragraph and a bar graph displaying projected growth rates for engineering jobs provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the Grand challenges of the 21st century section of this lit review, the authors outline challenges proposed by the National Academy of Engineers.

The next section of this let review breaks down the required steps to becoming an engineer. These include a B.S. degree in a specific

This short introduction narrows the topic range of the engineering discussion, and lead me to believe the article will focus mainly on the presence of engineering in lower education schools.

This explanation when coupled with the visual charts provides, allowed me to clearly navigate through the content provided and reveal the disciplines associated with each individual subject within the engineering world. This section of the review explains the importance of engineering jobs as well as the potential in various engineering fields in the near future. This section also allows the authors to display statistics retrieved in the research portion while composing this lit review In this section the authors of this lit review are able to directly connect research information to the purpose of the text, being the improvement of engineering education systems. The explanation of what it takes to currently become an

engineering major, as well as internships. This section also displays engineers starting salaries and mentions these statistics to be a potential motivation source for high school students.

The conclusion of this lit review expresses the importance of proper engineering and STEM education systems in grades 6-12.

effective engineer allows for the authors of this lit review to set up a position to discuss ways to improve the process, which is accomplished in the next section. This importance is central to McGraw-Hills position as a textbook and course development company, and therefore it attempts to appeal to the majority this texts readers by emphasizing the importance of engineering development in the near future.
