Interest in Engineering in the U.S. has declined for 20 Years
Source: National Science Board: Science and Engineering Indicators 2002
And, over the last ten years there has been:
50% decline in student interest in engineering 14% decline in engineering degrees awarded to US students

AEAA Arizona Educational Academic AssociationModeled after AIAA, Arizona Interscholastic Athletic AssociationEndorses or sanctions academic events such as FIRST, MATE, National History Day, Lego Robotics, Moot Court…It uses events that are in existence, AEAA does not host eventsProvides budget to any school that participatesEncourages payment to teachers equal to what athletic coach's earn Renewable on a yearly basis, subject to reviewIncrease public awareness of academic extracurricular activities
The vision is to positively transform culture by inspiring young people, their schools, and communities to appreciate science and technology.
