Abstract :
PerhaPs you´ve always thought that the main reason you came into engineering is to improve or help society. Certainly this is one of the top reasons given by students of engineering for why they moved into the profession in the first place. For many, however, it may prove difficult to get involved in the big global issues very early in their career. As in most professions, engineers may have to serve time at the coal face before progressing to a stage where they feel they can make a difference.
