Your generation will have unbelievable opportunities in the years ahead. Once you get a good education, the sky's the limit. Specifically, there are big opportunities for inventors. The demand for engineers is growing faster than the supply. We're graduating fewer engineers in this country than we did 10 years ago.
Many students think computer science is where the action is.
But the need has never been greater for graduates with degrees in mechanical, electrical, and optical engineering. Technology companies are trying to nurture and develop technical talent. Gerber Scientific is encouraging more young people to study science and technology. H. Joseph Gerber Vision Scholarships are awarded each year to promising high school seniors who are going into engineering, mathematics, or science. We're active in the F.I.R.S.T program the robotics competition.
