Program introduces young people engineering - – Rockford’s News
Leader  Program introduces young people engineering   Some kids
know exactly what they want to be when they grow up. Others,
have to do a little exploring.  The Engineering Exploring
Program held an open house tonight. The program introduces the
various engineering careers to kids and young adults between the
ages of 14 and 20. UTC Aerospace system employees help organize
the program, and take time to explain what it is like to be an
engineer.  "They kind of see it on TV or hear their dad's friend
is an engineer but they don't know what it is and so they don't
really know if it's something they want to pursue. And it may be
their favorite thing they've ever done. They may have always
been an engineer and just didn't know it," said Program Advisor
Nick Wlaznik  The engineering program holds meeting every other
week from now until March.  Powered by WorldNow
