Paraphased Quote

“I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread

inability to explain what we do to the general public (and why it is 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.”

According to Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting (2011), majority of Engineers are underrated due to difficulties in conveying complex concepts to the masses.
