  • Flying cars, Earth-sized atmospheric filters, quick access to clean water, phones with holograms, and more! Who can make these things happen? Engineers!
    So what does it take to be an engineer? What qualities, strengths and interests? Hear it from engineering students: What attracted them to the field and what drives them to make the world a better place?
    Want to be an engineer? Peer into the minds of middle school students as they share their dreams of making the next great invention.
    From fundamental research to everyday tech, engineers create incredible new solutions and discoveries to improve society and spur the imagination.

    This video is well done and engaging, but it presents a romanticized view of engineering. This video makes it seem that if you pursue engineering, you're going to be the next Thomas Edison or Elon Musk. Edison said "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety nine percent perspiration." Engineering school and the career itself take a lot of hard work and dedication, you will not just be able to create your wildest dreams and build whatever you want (unless you're really lucky). Starting out in engineering, many people work on a computer all day and you take direction from your boss. It may be tedious and frustrating at times, but it is a good career if you stick with it. One day you may be able to design and build that wild idea you had. But let's be honest and not give kids the wrong idea about what engineering actually is. And just so you know where I'm coming from, I have a mechanical engineering degree and am a high school engineering teacher.

      Hello, grumpy. I have a math degree and am a high school math teacher (so just as qualified as you)... I would never squash dreams like this, we are trying to engage and inspire. Sounds like you need to follow your dreams and leave teaching even though it is safe and secure. My father is a simple civil engineer and has many things he is proud of from his career, you need to pursue something new if you truly are that jaded as a teacher.

      Just want to say that Edison what really a decent inventor. He bought other people’s designs and techniques and used them. But also, dude, buzzkill. Seriously. Anyone can be an engineer if they try.

    Flying cars would have been possible for decades now. Why isn't anybody building them?
    1) You'd need a license for personal small aircraft to pilot them, which just isn't as easy as driving a vehicle that rolls over the land surface on wheels.
    2) Accidents would have a much higher fatality rate. If you drop out of the air from a high altitude, chances are you won't survive.
    3) Energy consumption would skyrocket, because you need an incredible amount of energy just to stay in the air, since gravity is always pulling you down.

      You forgot one important point: infrastructure. The infrastructure of big cities is not made for flying around. Even if there are enough people who can drive a flying car, you can't just fly through the city with that. That would only lead to major accidents. The whole infrastructure of the city needs to be redesigned and rebuild in order for flying cars to fly through them.

    A lot of engineering is hard graft, welding/fabrication is an industry that usually causes long term harm in your physical health. Design engineers don't just design/draw anything, usually it's the same or similar things that that specific company make.

      the result is poison, which already existed, you can be killed before any disease start to develop and in that way, it will stop the disease, in some sense.
