"Engineering Stories are short dramatizations allowing the reader to experience the challenges and satisfaction of being an engineer, inventor, or scientist. The stories are very plausible, being a composition of author experience and the experiences of his peers.  The objective is to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, or math, show what it may be like, dispel a myth or two, and encourage creativity, problem solving, and the confidence to make the world a better place.
