[quote=Anonymous]My dad, brother and several of my nieces and nephews in their 20s and 30s are engineers so it’s not totally new in my family. I can also think of at least 4 guys who I was pretty good friends with in HS who went to engineering programs (Harvey mudd, RpI, Colorado mines and someplace in Texas). I do think it’s popular with children of immigrants (like my dad) and I wonder if the increased immigration over the past 20 years or so has increased the number of kids applying for engineering. I also think we’ve been pushing STEM at kids on a way no one did in the 70s, 80s and 90s, so it’s not surprising to me that kids are choosing my those careers. My kids went to a tech camp starting at age 7, which is certainly not something I did (although I did take an afterschool programming class on a Commodore 64.). [/quote]
