Blog 5a: Science Fair Problem Statement

Engineering

1. Cities are losing funding, meaning less jobs at the city level, which will result in a massive transition to jobs with private contract companies. 

Hopefully with private companies understanding this natural cycle, they would be more open to make job openings more readily available in the future, allowing for a consistently stable field for future engineers.

2. Traffic signal communication equipment is becoming more and more unreliable, resulting in more management and repairs of field equipment. 

The solution to this problem, would most likely be held in finding new traffic timing field equipment, which would prove to be much more reliable and steady in communicating real-time traffic issues. I would then attempt to petition for the replacement of old, unreliable pieces of equipment in the field with the new  equipment found.

3. There are not enough students going into the engineering field. (Thanks Melogno!)

I will attempt to connect more high school school students to young internship programs to raise awareness for the field and to hopefully get more teens interested in Engineering.

4. Many students don't know what engineers actually do, or what is entailed on the job.

Perhaps upon providing more information to students, more and more will become interested in engineering, fully knowing what the field holds and the fun that could be had on the job.
