It took me a pretty long time to get excited about engineering. It's kind of funny, because University really made me dislike education/learning so much that I had to go discover all the good stuff on my own.

In the article, I definitely agree that we need to get more young people excited about programming and other kinds of engineering (I've heard enrollment is dropping in these areas).

I think teachers should show Steve Wozniak interviews in middle schools and high schools. That to me is the true spirit of engineering. It would get kids excited about engineering and show them that it's not just about memorizing formulas and solving homework problems.
