Programs for Teachers and Counselors Teachers and Counselors Teachers and Counselors have the opportunity to teach and guide young students and affect their lives. They have the opportunity to convey to their students that engineering is about solving problems by applying science.
Engineers work in teams to solve the problems to obtain diversity in thinking and ideas.
This team-oriented approach is at the core of why it is so important to have diversity in engineering. Today's engineers must function and compete in a global economy. In order to do so, engineers must be able to work with people from a variety of backgrounds. They must design products that are tailored to the needs of all types of people. In short, engineers must be responsive to diversity because diverse thinking leads to unique problem solving.
