This information should be given to middle school kids. Get them interested in Engineering, as they have no idea what engineering means, much less that it covers the following: Design and construction of stadiums, studio sound systems, to the design and manufacture of iPods, electronic instruments, gaming sounds, MIDI programming, a stream live concerts on the Web and create music software. engineers make the magic that is every theme park, amusement park, roller coaster, aquarium, zoo, cinema, sporting event. Take the time to get our kids involved in middle school, don’t wait until they graduate from high school and our drop out of school percentage my decline.
