  17. The Facts • We will need 1200 new engineers in Alabama each year for the next 10 years. • There are 7 colleges of engineering in Alabama. • http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm

  18. The Reality • Not every student will become an engineer. However, those in the Physics class in high school are our potential. • We still need skilled workers. If you teach courses other than college prep physics, those kids need the same experiences with design challenges, team work and problem solving
