"I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread inability to explain what do to the general public (and why is it so important). It is one of the hardest goals to accomplish, to be able to boil down difficult concepts into a short and easily understood presentation or elevator pitch." Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA(2011)
According to Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, we as engineers are underrated due to our incompetence to break down our ideas and concepts into something that is more relatable to our daily lives and justify the importance of these theories.
