The American Dream - the idea that with hard work, anyone can be successful in any career - once drew thousands of immigrants to the United States. The country has given the world countless success stories in every sector of industry. But is that concept still true? Can you still make a decent living pursuing any career? Introducing Engineering America: Teaching a Penguin How to Fly, an 18-year-old's journey on discovering that not all college majors are created equal. The book combines the student's narrative with candid interviews of some of the nation's most accomplished individuals to discuss how engineering careers are becoming the trend of the century: Nobel Laureate in Physics Steven Weinberg, Roe v. Wade Lawyer Sarah Weddington, University of Texas Associate Professor Derek Chiou, Author Sheril Kirshenbaum, Economist and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research Daniel Hamermesh. America has so much talent but not enough of it is pursuing STEM careers. This book hopes to prove to high school students, college underclassmen and anyone looking to create a new career that engineering is doable, needed, financially rewarding and of course, most importantly, "cool."
