It’s part of a series on Science Technology,Engineering and Math (STEM) education.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s part of a series that the government<\/p>\n
is running called Change The Equation.\u00a0 Most of it is around a Video Contest <\/a>where companies enter short video’s about engineering<\/p>\n promotion. The IBM entry is here<\/a> (Take a look at those and ‘like’ them if you like them)\u00a0\u00a0 They’re running a few blog entries from<\/p>\n folks (like me) to help promote the ‘Changing the Equation’ agenda on science and engineering promotion.<\/p>\n One of my friends challenged me on the corporate part of this.. Ie. Is it OK for uss companies to be promoting engineering careers<\/p>\n while they are moving jobs oversees.\u00a0 I think it’s a good question. For me.. it’s an easy answer. I think\u00a0 jobs will move across international boundaries with supply and demand.. those trends will naturally change with time. For the long term we need to encourage kids to consider engineering for the good it can do in the world. I truly believe that in the coming decades there will be increasing demand for math, science and technology savvy people to help change the energy and sustainability balance of the world. I believe those jobs will be more localized.. and will need to be spread out across the planet. ..<\/p>\n What do you all think ?<\/p>\n nite all, nite Sam<\/p>\n -me<\/p>\n ps. here’s the text of the Huffington Post article I wrote.<\/p>\n IBM Fellow<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/s.huffpost.com\/images\/social-profile\/lightbox\/huffpo_logo_lightbox_beta.png\"){kind=logo}
