After publishing Progressive Engineer for awhile, we've learned a few things about the engineering profession. The main one that stands out: the fun and unique jobs engineers find themselves in. As a licensed engineer who worked in industry before becoming a journalist, I thought I knew the various types of engineering pretty well.
But every time I venture out to research a story for these pages, I marvel at what a neat job the people I interview have and wonder "where were these jobs when I was looking for engineering work?"The truth is, they've been there along; you just have to scratch beneath the surface to find them. In a nutshell, that's what we do. If you're a technical person, you know why engineers need a greater voice.
We hear how our infrastructure has fallen into disrepair over the years and now will require trillions of dollars to bring it up to par. Society needs more engineers than ever before, and we face shortages of them. But the general public and youngsters typically don't understand what engineers do, and people aren't encouraged to enter the profession.

Green Building Rating Systems
Report
Anyone who has anything to do with green buildings probably knows about LEED, the rating system developed and sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifies both practitioners in the field and buildings and similar projects.
But you might be surprised to learn that several other rating systems exist, both in this country and around the world.
In fact, virtually every industrialized nation has a green building rating system, and even smaller, less developed nations have joined the fray.
