What Do Engineers Do?
Engineers do so much for our society and economy, but no one seems to know what they do! Engineering students at Brigham Young University are on a quest to interview practicing engineers to figure out what they do and how they got there. This podcast will help us all better understand who engineers are and what they do to make the world a better place.
