This book is an alarm signal for the "engineering shortage" that  can  be  noticed  all  over  the  world.  Engineering  is  a great  profession,  but  based  on  my  experience,  I  must admit that it is not an easy one. It demands a lot of time and requires studying and dedication. It also requires a life-long continuing education.

This book will address why the number of graduates is declining  in  engineering  universities  and  why  so  many quit  after  the  first  years  and  become  only  technicians. 

I refuse  to  believe  that  young  people  avoid  the  great responsibility of engineers. Maybe they think they are not getting  paid  enough  and  seek  a  more  lucrative  career. 

Furthermore,  they  hear  about  the  massive  layoffs  that happen  when  a  big  engineering  company  no  longer receives new projects. It is our duty as engineers to find the real reasons.

In  conclusion,  the  message  will  be  an  homage  to  all engineers  who  work  with  passion,  professional  probity and willingness to put in long hours. This will encourage the new generations of college and university graduates to become engineers.

It is the parents’ duty to encourage their children from a young age to choose a career that is right for them. Begin with smart toys such as Legos and assembled cars that kids,  with  their  little  hands  and  brain,  can  take  apart and build again. Find kids who are passionate about the

video game SimCity. Surely there is a percentage of kids who  want  to  build  a  real  city.  In  the  book,  I  give  as  an example, a child who built the model of the Titanic with Legos,  and  a  disabled  child  who  used  Legos  to  make himself  a  prosthetic  arm.  These  are  children  that  need to be encouraged. Do not hand them a tablet in order to have  more  free  time  to  fix  your  problems.  Children are the number one priority; they are the future.

The same is necessary in day cares and primary schools. Parents   and   teachers   must   guide   children   towards building activities and team spirit.
