Book launched to encourage students to take up engineering

Singapore engineers are in demand, but there aren't too many of them.  A book is launched by the Deputy Prime Minister Mr Teo Chee Hean to address this problem.   The book titled "One Degree, Many Choices" will be distributed to those students about to enter the universities.   The book traces the the pioneering batch of engineering students of 1985.

It is good that engineers are being appreciated though I feel that pay maybe an issue, most engineers switch to management or other roles rather than advance through their engineering careers, which is a great pity.   Hopefully the recognition of engineers will correct this and provide more incentives for senior engineers to stay and excel in their respective fields.
