Last month, during the second White House Science Fair, White House guest Bill Nye the Science Guy, who also serves as CEO of the Planetary Society, commented on the many successful corporations—including Amazon, Apple, Boeing, Ford, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Pay-Pal, and now Facebook—were started by engineers, people who use science and math to create things and solve problems. He said that for the United States to remain the world leader in technological innovation, we need more engineers and more scientists. We need more people who can do math, design software, and create new applications for machines that have yet to be invented.
