Notes/Talking Points Engineers solve the world’s fundamental and most complex challenges serving as – the driving force in inventing, designing, building, improving, and sustaining the systems and structures we rely on. The impact of engineers’ work is global: building our infrastructure to get us where we need to go, designing our energy systems to power our lives, and connecting the world’s networks to increase our productivity. Thanks to the work of engineers, our and bridges are safer, our cars are more dependable, our food supply is safer and we are more globally connected than ever before. Slide 18: Hook Demand for Engineers” – “Increasing Goals: Present the content of the model and goals of the presentation at a high-level Provide a hook that can then transition into the background of the making of the model (for more formal audiences) or the content of the model (shorter presentation for student audiences) Notes/Talking Points The engineering field is growing, and the nation needs more engineers to harness their capabilities to build and sustain a better world. According to projections from the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, the engineering field will grow by 8.6% between 2012 and 2022, resulting in over 544,000 job openings due to growth and net replacements during that period. The American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) developed an Engineering Competency Model to serve as a guide for the development of the engineering workforce to help America meet this demand. Slide 19: Model Introduction Meeting the Demand – Goals: Introduce the Notes/Talking Points Now is the time to develop the engineer of the future: an individual ready and able to rise to the challenge of meeting this industry demand. To accomplish this goal, the American Association of Engineering Societies, the U.S. Department of Labor, specifically its Labor Employment and Training Administration, and AAES subject matter experts from education, industry, and private practice developed the Engineering Competency Model, which we’ll call the model. The model defines the skills required for current and aspiring engineers to advance and succeed. Similar to the systems they build, engineers themselves are composed of integral parts, or competencies, that work together to develop a dynamic and adaptable professional.
