As a chemical engineer, I love when people get excited about engineering! People need to realize how involved engineers are in today's society and just how amazing some of the things are that engineers have accomplished. Engineering is even more important today because no other field is really safe from it. From biology to physics and probably even the humanities, everybody is going to need an engineer at some point!
