We're different from any other engineering magazine you've seen because we've boldly broken ground on two fronts with our content and unique online format. If you deal in a technical world, you know why engineers need a voice. World population continues to mushroom, environmental problems become ever more complex, energy becomes scarcer, and demands for technology increase. Society needs more engineers than ever before. Yet because of the poor public relations and journalism work done on behalf of engineers, many school children still don't understand what engineers do, and people aren't encouraged to enter the profession.
Many facets comprise our mission in upgrading the world of engineering journalism.
We show how engineers are taking their creativity in new directions as a result of changing views on company loyalty, family interests, their ultimate dreams, and society's technological needs. Profiles in Progressive Engineer describe achievements made by engineers in the course of their everyday jobs, career moves, and hobbies. Often they feature engineers applying common principles in unique scenarios you may not know exist. We recognize that opportunities for engineers to show their range of abilities come more often these days as companies increasingly lay off workers. Progressive Engineer spotlights fascinating and inspirational stories of how engineers have taken control of their fate, often heading in an entrepreneurial direction.
