Re: Engineering "Educator" Degree Programs
I pray that most FRC teams are gearing their teams for students interested in 'shop classes'.

The skills gap in the U.S. is getting out of hand. And for teams to be overlooking these students is a disservice to the respective teams and the students that they could reach.

And as for 'Shop teacher' - there is a MASSIVE SHORTAGE!

In Minnesota alone, we had 40 openings for Tech Ed/Engineering Ed in 2015 - and St. Cloud State University (the only school in MN offering this degree) graduated a total of two.

For any student involved in FRC that wants to continue in this field and has a desire to inspire, this is a great career!
