Question: Why is it important to inspire a younger generation of engineers?

Hi Luke, great question. Well I think Engineering is often forgotten so its important for young people to know about engineering as a potential career since its great! But also 800,000 STEM experts are needed by 2020 to meet demand and avert damaging consequences, therefore 1 in 5 must train to be an engineer. So we need engineers!
